This winter transfer window promises to be busy for the North and RC Lens. While the most virulent rumors concerned the sale of Danso or Khusanov, another Blood and Gold came to sow discord in the artesian club. Captain of Will Still's men, Brice Samba should soon join Stade Rennais and join a former member of the house, Seko Fofana. A departure anticipated by the Lensois leaders who would have found his replacement not far from there, in Belgium.
A French goalkeeper to replace Samba
Looking for an experienced goalkeeper, the 7th in Ligue 1 checked the name of Jean Butez, 29 years old and spent with LOSC in his training. Foot Mercato revealed that discussions had intensified since last night between Lens and Royal Antwerp for a transfer of around 3 million euros. The final details on bonuses and organization seemed to be settled, but to everyone's surprise, RMC Sport finally announced that the deal had fallen through. Indeed, the Lensois leaders ultimately considered that the price was too high for a 29-year-old doorman. The hunt for Brice Samba's replacement is open again!
