Pau Lopez at the bottom of the hole after his aborted signing

This is the big drama of this start of the winter transfer window! Pau Lopez, goalkeeper belonging to OM, will ultimately not join Racing Club de Lens, despite the official announcement of his loan. The turnaround is explained by the intervention of Girona, which wishes to keep the player until January 29, a condition deemed unacceptable by Lens.

In a press release, the Artesian club confirmed the cancellation of the signing, specifying: “While a total agreement had been found between the Racing Club de Lens, Olympique de Marseille and Pau Lopez, the arrival of the international Spanish is cancelled. Girona FC informed Olympique de Marseille today of its firm desire to keep the player until January 29, an unacceptable condition for Racing, which thus renounces this signing. »

Pau Lopez is devastated

A twist which leaves RC Lens in embarrassment, while Brice Samba has already left for Rennes. But above all it places Pau Lopez in a terrible situation. A situation that he takes very badly. According to Foot Mercato, the Spanish goalkeeper is simply “devastated” after this last minute turnaround, he who will perhaps have to stay in a club where he has almost no chance of playing in the second half of the season.
