Stade Rennais could reconsider its recruitment plans in attack, faced with the potential failure of Conrad Harder’s arrival. Initially, an agreement seemed close between the Breton club and the Danish player, but the Milan AC arrived in force and seems to have convinced Harder, who would have preferred this destination and its representatives. This is an unexpected turnaround for Rennes, which was actively seeking to strengthen its offensive sector.

Faced with this disappointment, Stade Rennais again turned to Esteban Lepaul, SCO Angers player, as a priority. The paul is already courted by the Rennes club and a new offer could be envisaged, estimated at 15 million euros, a figure also mentioned by L’Equipe as a possible point of agreement with Angers. This runway is an interesting alternative to meet the need for reinforcement in attack.

In addition to Lepaul, Stade Rennais could also explore more versatile profiles to complement its workforce. The club is still looking for a replacement for Arnaud Kalimuendo, a crucial position for the balance of the team. The search for players capable of playing in several positions demonstrates Rennes’ willingness to strengthen its workforce in a global way and to compensate for any absences.
