RC Lens is on track to secure the services of Mathew Ryan (32), Australian goalkeeper for AS Rome. Will Still's team, still looking for a goalkeeper following the departure of Brice Samba to Rennes, for 14 million euros, initially thought of recruiting Pau Lopez, but an obstacle arose when FC Girona wanted to keep the Spanish goalkeeper until the end of the group stage of the Champions League, forcing Lens to review its plans.
According to our information, advanced discussions are underway between the northern club and Ryan. The Australian goalkeeper is interested in the Lensois project. The file is moving quickly.
The desire to be a holder
With Ryan, the Lensois club could finally find its new starting goalkeeper, Hervé Koffi acting as interim for the time being. Lacking playing time at AS Roma, where he has only played one match in the Italian Cup this season, the Australian is interested in a team where he could be number 1. Lens would offer him this role, which was not the case in Rome, given that he was only Mile Silvar's understudy.
-For its part, AS Roma, ready to part with Ryan, is in negotiations to replace him with Pierluigi Gollini, currently at Atalanta. The goalkeeper is waiting for the green light from AS Roma to interrupt his loan to Genoa and join the capital.
