David Pereira da Costa has been blowing hot and cold in Lens for several years, which does not prevent certain clubs from being interested in the Portuguese playmaker. An MLS club is ready to write a big check.
Important player for Will Still at Lens, David Pereira da Costa is still waiting for his first goal this season. Despite a good influence on the offensive play of the Sang et Or, the 23-year-old Portuguese midfielder struggles to be effective as we saw on Saturday against OM, where he notably missed a face to face with the Marseille goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli. In a fairly delicate financial situation for several months, Lens remains open to the departure of David Pereira da Costa in the event of a good offer and possibly in January. This is good news, a Major League Soccer club in the United States has expressed interest in the player trained in Lens.
David Pereira da Costa is courted
According to newspaper information To Ballit is the Portland club which fell in love with David Pereira da Costa to the point of offering 10 million euros to Lens for a transfer in January. A boon for the northern club, which could jump at the opportunity to sell at a high price a player whose contract expires in a year and a half (June 2026). It remains to be seen what Will Still's opinion is on the matter, even if the Belgian coach will undoubtedly not be the final decision-maker in this matter. With players such as Zaroury, Fulgini and Thomasson, the RC Lens coach also has alternative solutions in this position. The Lens staff could therefore accept the American proposal without discussion. We will nevertheless have to see if David Pereira da Costa agrees to join MLS at only 23 years old, which is not certain far from it.
