Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
The winter transfer window has barely opened its doors when RC Lens is already on fire. And the burning case is indeed that of Brice Samba. First announced very close to Stade Rennais, the French goalkeeper is ultimately still in Lens. His future is at the heart of a big imbroglio, and Pierre Dréossi has decided to clarify things regarding this soap opera which is driving the start of the transfer window.
This is the burning issue at the start of this winter transfer window in Ligue 1. Announced very close to Stade Rennais, Brice Samba was finally retained by the RC Lens who also renounced the signature of his successor, who was to be Jean Butez. The situation therefore seems totally vague, but the general director of RC Lens, Pierre Dréossimade things clear.
Dréossi comes out of silence for Samba
« Brice Samba was announced as the starter. Afterwards what is announced is not the responsibility of RC Lens. Two or three small details. Brice came to see me at the end of the year to tell me that his wish was to leave. We were a little surprised, but oh well. It happened like this. We have been contacted by Rennes and we are in negotiations. The negotiations have stalled a bit, not stopped, but tense. But we are still in negotiations. If they end he will leave, otherwise not. Like all transfers. There are too many rumors about this issue. These are long negotiations, around ten days, but there is no agreement. I hope or not that we find an agreement. In any case, I hope for an end to negotiations to find out if he will leave or not », he admits on the microphone of DAZN before continuing.
“We anticipated Brice’s departure”
« Brice Samba's situation is not unclear. We anticipated Brice's departure, there is a good chance that in a few days a guard will arrive to be ready for any eventuality. Jean Butez? No no. A guard will arrive, and he will arrive if he is to arrive in the next few days. There are things that the sports management is putting in place. I hope that in the days to come, RC Lens will strengthen offensively. It was anticipated and planned », added Pierre Dréossi.
