Paul Georges Ntep, the rising French talent of Cameroonian descent, has become the sensation of this winter transfer window in France, attracting the attention of major Ligue 1 clubs. Despite currently playing in Ligue 2 with Auxerre, he has stirred interest from clubs like Arsenal, PSG, and Marseille. However, the frontrunner in the race for his signature appears to be Rennes, as reported by L’Equipe this Monday. The speculated transfer fee is around 4 million euros, excluding bonuses.
Interestingly, the Rennes leadership promptly denied these reports, with Frédéric de Saint Sernin stating, “It makes no sense,” as reported in Ouest-France.
In the midst of the transfer speculations, Ntep, who turned away a Cameroonian delegation last December attempting to persuade him to join the Indomitable Lions, continues to hone his skills with Auxerre. His focus is set on a new objective this weekend against Arles-Avignon.
