It is a RC Lens 2.0 that should play next season in Ligue 1. Indeed, even before the month of July, the Blood and Gold are in the process of carrying out a major summer clean-up in their ranks. First, there was the departure of Franck Haise to OGC Nice, which led the management to seek out Will Still. But in the squad too, there should be quite a few movements since Adam Buksa, Julien Le Cardinal, Kevin Danso, Angelo Fulgini, Salis Abdul Samed, Adrien Thomasson and Stijn Spierings could be led to leave the North this summer. This transfer window therefore leaves room for many questions as the management seems to have set out with a view to selling. But Pierre Dreossi, the Lens manager who presented Will Still to the press this morning, wanted to be rather reassuring about this transfer window.
“There is no cash flow problem”
“We intend to find a different economic balance than in recent seasons. However, we are ambitious regarding transfers and objectives. Finding a balance is not austerity. We are adopting a different policy. Lens is strong enough to be able to buy before selling. The shareholder is strong, order is not the priority. The TV rights are very uncertain, but there is no cash flow problem,” he said. For his part, Will Still has already announced that he has several players in his sights. “We have a broad vision for the moment, we are in contact with several players in certain positions. It will also depend on departures. There is a large squad in number, perhaps to be rebalanced,” according to the Belgian coach.
