This announcement should finally put an end to the numerous speculations surrounding the future of Paul-Georges Ntep. The Franco-Cameroonian winger is set to sign for Stade Rennais, as confirmed by the Breton club on its official Twitter account. “Paul-Georges Ntep, the Auxerre striker, is expected in Rennes this evening. The French Espoir international will undergo his medical examination tomorrow.”
Negotiations progressed rapidly in the past hours, with both Queens Park Rangers and Rennes vying for the talented player. Ntep’s absence from the Ligue 2 match between Auxerre and Lens on Monday (which ended 1-2) further confirmed his imminent departure.
It’s now official: Ntep will continue his rapid rise in Ligue 1 under the colors of Rennes. He is expected to sign a 3.5-year contract in exchange for a €4 million transfer fee for Auxerre.
