RC Lens goalkeeper Brice Samba is at the center of a hectic soap opera during this winter transfer window.
Announced close to a transfer to Stade Rennais, the 30-year-old sees his departure suspended by complex negotiations between the two clubs. Pierre Dréossi, general director of RC Lens, spoke on this subject at the microphone of DAZN, revealing behind the scenes of this affair.
“Long negotiations but no agreement”
According to Dréossi, the file remains uncertain: “Brice told us of his wish to leave at the end of the year. We have been contacted by Rennes and are in discussions, but they are long and tense. For the moment, there is no agreement. » While rumors suggest tensions between the parties, the manager wanted to calm things down while affirming that Lens had prepared for all eventualities.
Dréossi also mentioned the possible arrival of a new goalkeeper in the event of Samba's departure. If Jean Butez was quoted in the media, the general manager denied this suggestion, while confirming that the club is ready to react quickly. In the meantime, the fate of Brice Samba remains in suspense, leaving Lensois supporters in suspense.
