As expected, absent from the group summoned for the Toulouse reception on Sunday, Brice Samba is not yet at the point of staying RC Lens despite his departure to Rennes being put on standby. According to L'Equipe, the clubs have agreed to continue discussions after the first weekend of competition.
Brice Samba cares about Hervé Sekli
Points of tension have slowed down the issue, the outcome of which remains uncertain, but still very topical despite exchanges which would not always be easy between Arnaud Pouille, now president of Rennes, and Joseph Oughourlian Among these points of tension, there is also the desire of the French international to be accompanied byHervé Seklicoach of the RC Lens goalkeepers, already working with Caen.
Still according to L'Equipe, Brice Samba would have already considered leaving this summer, concerned about a possible drop in the quality of the squad, which seems to have been confirmed in his eyes during the first part of the season. On the club's side, while his salary weighs on the payroll, the door is not closed in the event of a good offer. As a reminder, a contract lasting until 2029 already awaits Brice Samba in Rennes, while the transfer which seemed very close to being finalized was expected to bring in 12 to 15 million euros for RC Lens. Decisions will have to be made quickly in any case, particularly for the good of the locker room which could end up suffering from such an uncertain situation around its captain.
