The young Uzbek defender, revelation of the season, is being courted by PSG and OM. Its value, estimated at 5 million euros by the specialized site Transfer marketcould quickly increase. As for Andy Diouf, he is of interest to several Premier League teams. His profile and rapid progression make him a prime target for English clubs.
Nampalys Mendy, whose contract ends next June, could also pack his bags during the next winter transfer window. The midfielder no longer fits into Will Still's plans. Neil El Aynaoui could be loaned to him in order to regain playing time. The Moroccan was to join AS Monaco during the last summer transfer window, but the transfer was derailed due to a problem detected during his medical examination.
Finally, David Pereira da Costa, trained at the club, could leave for the United States. The attacking midfielder, closely followed by the Portland Timbers, is valued at 8 million euros. This American franchise has already submitted an offer of 10 million euros to the table of the leaders of RC Lens to attract the Portuguese nugget this winter.
