As the 2023-2024 season draws to a close, RC Lens is already looking to the future with the probable arrival of five new recruits to strengthen its squad for the 2024-2025 season.
RC Lens far from its standards of last season
Reigning vice-champion of France, RC Lens hoped to create another surprise this season, with a new qualification for the Champions League as their main objective. Unfortunately, the Blood and Gold have completely missed the mission, currently being in sixth place, ten points from third place.
With only three games left to play, the men of Franck Haise are now content to seek at least a place in one of the two other UEFA competitions. Which could be a determining factor in convincing potential recruits. But in the meantime, the Lens management seems to have taken a head start with five players already announced for next season.
The transfer window is already launched at RC Lens
The recruitment unit of the Artesian club is doing enormous work behind the scenes and has ticked off several names who should join RC Lens this summer according to Sport.fr. The first, Hervé Koffi, is a transfer already recorded. The Charleroi goalkeeper arrives to succeed Brice Samba, announced as leaving in recent weeks.
The Burkinabé goalkeeper is renowned for his reflexes and his presence in the air, could bring a new dimension to the Lens defense. Carlos Teran is announced from Chicago Fire. This Colombian defender is known for his solidity and his physical commitment. It is considered the ideal replacement for Kevin Dansowho is also likely to leave the club this summer.
Still in defense, Sidy Bane is expected to join the ranks of the Sang et Or. The Bate Borisov central defender has already proven himself in the Champions League and the Europa League. His potential and versatility make him a prime candidate for the Lens defense.
An ambitious and promising transfer window for Lens
Among the many targets, the club identified a profile playing in Sochaux, a revelation for the National. Alex Daho is presented as a talented dribbler who could seduce Lensois supporters with his ability to create differences on the flank of the attack.
The last on the list is a former Ligue 1 player who played for Rennes and Reims. It is Rafik Guitane, a midfielder who shines at Estoril with impressive statistics. His experience and creativity could be valuable for the RC Lens midfielder.
These potential arrivals signal RC Lens’ ambition to continue to progress and fight for European places. With these reinforcements, the Sang et Or could well be one of the teams to follow closely during the next Ligue 1 season.
