Stade Rennais have confirmed that forward Estéban Lepaul has extended his contract with the club until 2030. The Breton club announced the extension on Thursday afternoon, securing the future of their key attacker.
Financial details of the new contract were not disclosed by the club. However, Rennes confirmed that Lepaul, who was the top scorer in Ligue 1 last season, will be a central figure as they compete in European football next season, and navigate a demanding schedule with matches coming every three days.
Lepaulinho enjoyed a breakout season with Rennes, scoring 21 goals and providing 5 assists in 34 matches across all competitions. His impressive form contributed significantly to Rennes’ successful campaign and sparked debate regarding his exclusion from the French national team. The forward finished the season strongly, netting 7 goals in his final 7 appearances, showcasing his talent on a national stage.
The extension represents a significant boost for Rennes as they prepare for a season with European commitments. Securing Lepaul’s services long-term provides stability and firepower to their attack, solidifying their ambitions in both domestic and continental competitions. The club will hope Lepaul can continue his prolific form and become a mainstay in the French national team setup.
