After a mixed start to the season, Lens is counting on the winter transfer window to readjust its squad and perhaps replenish its coffers.
The winter transfer window promises to be crucial for RC Lens, which is seeking to rebalance its workforce and its finances after a mixed start to the season. Among the planned departures, that of David Pereira da Costa is particularly noteworthy. Revelation of recent seasons, the Portuguese midfielder could leave the Sang et Or in January to bring a breath of financial oxygen to the club.
A route to Istanbul ?
At 23, David Pereira da Costa attracted the interest of Besiktas, one of the most prestigious clubs in Türkiye. According to the Turkish press, the Istanbul club would be ready to offer between 8 and 10 million euros for the midfielder. A proposal that does not leave the Lens management indifferent. Still under contract until 2026, Pereira da Costa could be transferred for a substantial amount, a boon for RC Lens keen to optimize its financial resources.
Despite his talent, Pereira da Costa seems outside of Franck Haise's plans this season. This departure could also allow the player to relaunch his career in a new environment. For Lens, it is an opportunity to conclude one of the biggest transfers in its recent history, potentially in the Top 10, like Christopher Wooh, sold for 9 million euros to Rennes. A separation which now seems inevitable.
