Lacking playing time at RC Lens this season, Portuguese midfielder David Pereira Da Costa could pack his bags during the next winter transfer window. Clubs are scrambling to recruit him.
RC Lens Market: Does RCL contract to sell Pereira Da Costa?
Portuguese attacking midfielder David Pereira Da Costa has been announced as leaving RC Lens during the next winter transfer window. Holder during the clash against OM on the 12th day of Ligue 1, the Portuguese was not included in the starting lineup during the last match against Stade de Reims, where he remained on the bench.
David Pereira Da Costa does not fit into Will Still's plans and is lacking playing time this season. This situation and the club's financial difficulties could push it towards the exit in the winter transfer window.
Financial difficulties for RC Lens
RC Lens hoped to recover nearly 40 million euros thanks to the transfers of Kevin Danso and Neil El Aynaoui during the last summer transfer window. Unfortunately, these operations were derailed due to problems during medical visits. The northern club therefore finds itself in a difficult situation and must imperatively find solutions to balance its accounts, especially since the DNCG will soon carry out an audit.
In this context, David Pereira Da Costa could well be sacrificed. Its market value, estimated at 8 million euros per Transfer marketmakes him an interesting target for many clubs. According to To Ballthe Portland Timbers have reportedly made an offer of 10 million euros to secure the services of the Portuguese midfielder. A tempting proposition that could well convince Lensois leaders. Other Ligue 1 teams would also have inquired about his situation.
