Guillaume Restes set to make history with France

Guillaume Restes is set to enter the history of France’s national team, adding a significant moment to the early career of the Toulouse goalkeeper. The event places the 21-year-old at the centre of attention for the Bleus, although no further detail about the milestone is provided.

Restes plays for FC Toulouse and holds French and Ivorian citizenship. His current market valuation is €18 million. He has remained with Toulouse throughout his progression, moving from the club’s youth structure into the senior side. His pathway began with Toulouse FC Under-17s in 2020-21, followed by a move to the Under-19 team in 2021-22 and then Toulouse B in 2022-23. He joined Toulouse’s first team in 2023-24.

The goalkeeper’s rise has therefore taken him from the club’s academy to the France setup by the age of 21. His listed medical history includes a dead leg and flu, but neither entry changes the central significance of the event: Restes is approaching a place in the record of the Bleus while representing Toulouse at club level. His dual nationality, youth development at Toulouse and rapid progress toward the national team all form part of a career that has advanced through the club’s ranks.
