The transfer market of Atlético de Madrid continues to monitor Estéban Lepaul, a 26-year-old forward from Stade Rennais, for the January transfer window, in a deal that also interests PSG, Inter, and Benfica. The French club has set their demands between 50 and 60 million euros, in addition to retaining a percentage of any future sale.

Atlético de Madrid keeps an eye on Estéban Lepaul

Lepaul has attracted the attention of several clubs after the 2025/26 season where he scored 21 goals in 32 Ligue 1 matches with Stade Rennais and Angers. In the current season, he has scored 3 goals in five league games, all with the Breton team.

The forward has also earned a call-up to the French national team. Zinedine Zidane included him in the squad for the September Nations League matches, alongside players like Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, and Michael Olise.

The interest from Atlético de Madrid is not new. Back in June, when Lepaul finished as the top scorer in Ligue 1 with 21 goals, it was reported that the Spanish club, along with Benfica and Como, were among his suitors.

The sporting director of Stade Rennais, Loïc Désiré, confirmed at that time that the club had started talks to extend his contract, while Atletico Madrid eventually signed Jonathan David.

Stade Rennais tightens conditions for Lepaul

Stade Rennais has a contract with Lepaul until June 2030, having extended it to safeguard their position against other clubs' interest. The French club paid around 13.5 million euros to acquire him in 2025 from Angers.

Now, the financial demands have increased. Reports this week put the price at 60 million euros, while other sources suggest a range from 50 to 60 million euros, along with a stake in any future transfer.

Competition is also fierce for Atlético de Madrid. Benfica, PSG, and Inter are among the clubs that have sent scouts to track the striker, with Benfica reportedly making inquiries about his contract situation and the financial conditions set by Stade Rennais.

As of now, there is no formal offer from Atlético de Madrid for Lepaul in January. The scenario could change in the coming months if he maintains his goal-scoring form, solidifies his presence in the French team, and if Atletico decides to part ways with Alexander Sorloth. However, Stade Rennais stands firm on their demand of 50 to 60 million euros and an additional economic clause on any future sale.
