Paul-Georges Ntep Edges Closer to Liverpool Move After Second Anfield Visit
Stade Rennais winger Paul-Georges Ntep could be on his way to the Premier League, with Liverpool emerging as strong contenders for his signature. According to L’Équipe, the Franco-Cameroonian forward visited Liverpool’s facilities for a second time on Tuesday—fueling speculation of an imminent transfer.
The 22-year-old, who is under contract with Rennes until 2017, has attracted interest from several European clubs following a standout season in Ligue 1. With 9 goals and 6 assists in 32 appearances, Ntep has been a key figure in Rennes’ attack, showcasing pace, flair, and improved consistency—qualities that have clearly caught Liverpool’s attention.
Liverpool, who are expected to reinforce their attacking options this summer, would need to negotiate a buyout of the remaining two years of Ntep’s contract to secure his services. While no deal has been confirmed, the player’s repeated visits to Merseyside suggest talks are progressing.
Should the move materialise, Ntep would join a growing list of Ligue 1 exports to the Premier League, and his addition could bring much-needed width and directness to Liverpool’s forward line as they look to strengthen under manager Brendan Rodgers.
For now, Rennes are yet to comment officially, but with interest intensifying, the Ligue 1 side may be bracing for a summer departure.
