Brice Samba still in negotiations with RC Lens for a departure to Stade Rennais in this winter transfer window, Pierre Dréossi would have set his sights on the Spanish goalkeeper from Olympique de Marseille.
The question of replacing Brice Samba is still relevant at RC Lens. If Hervé Koffi did the job yesterday despite the defeat at Bollaert against Toulouse (0-1), the board of the Artesian club wishes to recruit another goalkeeper to compensate for the possible departure of the Blues goalkeeper at Stade Rennais this winter.
Tenas (PSG) and now Lopez (OM)?
While Arnau Tenas, the third goalkeeper of PSG, would please Diego Lopez, who succeeded Hébert, another track would have been activated behind the scenes: Pau Lopez (30 years old). According to Foot Mercato, RC Lens would now be very interested in the former last bastion of OM, currently on loan to Girona.
An agreement close to being concluded?
If Lopez only appeared once in the jersey of the Catalan club, he could relaunch at RC Lens, who contacted his agent in recent days. The idea would be to put the Spanish goalkeeper in competition with Koffi for the role of number 1. Fabrizio Romano confirms this idea and specifies that the deal would be close to being finalized on the basis of a loan with an option to purchase until this summer.
