This winter, RC Lens wants to strengthen itself to hope to remain in the race for Europe throughout the second part of the season. In a delicate economic context, the Sang et Or must, however, reduce their payroll.
The 2025 winter transfer window for RC Lens is particularly exciting. After losing their captain, Brice Samba, who left for Stade Rennais, the Sang et Or are still waiting for the jackpot to fall thanks to the sale of Abdukodir Khusanov. Despite everything, these two sales only fill in the gaps to stay within the requirements of the DNCG. If the Lens management hopes to be able to strengthen itself further during this winter transfer window, it will also and above all have to reduce its payroll. Several players are likely to be interested in leaving. A state of affairs that suits Artesian decision-makers.
La MLS braque Lens
According to information from The Voice of the NorthRC Lens could soon lose two elements of its workforce, which occupy a place in the rotation within the offensive sector. Firstly, Wesley Saïd, who only played 30 minutes in the last 10 Sang et Or matches due to physical problems, would not be indifferent to the call from MLS. The American League also has its sights set on David Pereira da Costa, who was in the good books of the Portland franchise.
If these two players are not particularly important at the moment for Will Still given their little playing time, their departure would not drastically change things in the club's finances. David Pereira da Costa and Wesley Saïd are respectively the 14th and 17th highest earners for the Sang et Or. In the meantime, their departure could allow the arrival of new hopes in the offensive sector. To conclude, the VDN affirms that the Artesian leaders still hope to be able to recruit a new goalkeeper to replace Brice Samba.
