In search of liquidity, RC Lens is seeking to downsize during this winter transfer window. On the list of contenders for departure was a certain Angelo Fulgini. However, the attacking midfielder assured that he had no intention of leaving Artois. His transfer therefore falls through, like that of Brice Samba.
The transfer window is getting carried away on the RC Lens side, and a departure from Brice Samba seemed more and more likely. The French international was tipped to join the Stade Rennaiswhere he could have succeeded Steve Mandanda in Breton cages. Discussions between the two clubs had taken a concrete turn, and an agreement of around €15 million was even mentioned.
Thunderbolt at RC Lens, Samba stays!
« I learned about it during the holidays, Still said. He had received an offer. How do I experience it? Alright. He's a very good goalkeeper, the captain of the club. But from the moment he has made his choice, there is not much to discuss. Keeping a player who no longer wants to be there is not necessarily a good thing for the locker room », confided moreover Will Still about this. But against all odds, the RC Lens decided to cancel the transfer of Brice Samba following too insistent communication from Stade Rennais. This decision also condemns the arrival of Jean Butez. But another transfer will fall through.
“I am very happy here”
Announced at the start due to his short playing time, Angelo Fulgini should stay at RC Lens this winter. The Lensois in any case clearly made it clear that he had no intention of leaving. “ Just because Brice wants to leave doesn't mean everyone will. Personally, I'm very good here », Confided Fulgini at a press conference on Friday. The message got through.
