Despite a press release as scathing as it was spicy, Real Valladolid had no other choice but to admit defeat in the Juma Bah case. As agreed, the young central defender will be recruited by Manchester City, then immediately loaned to RC Lens. The player was even present at La Gaillette this Thursday.
Juma Bah passed his medical examination
This is what is called a well-conducted file, or even a four-cushion billiard shot. As part of its negotiations with Manchester City for the sale of Abdukodir Khusanov, RC Lens took the opportunity to negotiate the arrival of Juma Bah. While the central defender interested both clubs, the Sky Blues will finally recruit the player to loan him for six months to the Sang et Or.
At the end of a long standoff with Real Valladolid, who consider themselves wronged, Juma Bah finally arrived in Lens this Thursday to undergo his medical examination prior to a loan until the end of the season. According to Foot Marketadministrative details still need to be resolved to be able to formalize the operation. In the space of just a few days, RC Lens has the successor to Abdukodir Khusanov. It remains to be seen whether he will be up to the task.
