The soap opera around the Lensois goalkeeper Brice Samba takes a new turn. Pierre Dréossithe sports director of RC Lensprovided an update on the ongoing negotiations with the Stade Rennais for the transfer of the Congolese doorman.
Samba wants to leave
According to Dréossi's revelations, “Brice came to see me at the end of the year to tell me that his wish was to leave”. A surprising announcement from the starting goalkeeper of the Sang et Or, who nevertheless extended his contract until 2025 last summer. RC Lens was therefore forced to begin negotiations to satisfy the request of his player, despite his importance in the team.
Tense negotiations with Rennes
The Lensois sports director confirmed that “the negotiations got a little tense” with the Stade Rennaisinterested in recruiting Brice Samba. However, discussions are still ongoing according to Dréossi: “We are still in negotiations. If the negotiations end in the coming days, he will leave. If the negotiations do not succeed, he will not leave.” An outcome is therefore imminent in this series.
A goalkeeper approaching Lens
Anticipating a possible departure from Brice Sambathe RC Lens is already exploring the trail of a new goalkeeper. Pierre Dréossi assured that“there is a good chance that a guard will arrive in the next few days to be ready for all eventualities”. However, he denied the trail leading to Jean Butezasserting that “we talk too much about things that don’t exist”.
