Things will change in the Lensois ranks this winter. Nothing surprising to announce it, but in addition to losing at least one element in defense, RC Lens could also see their number 1 goalkeeper leave.
Offensive in the Seko Fofana file (currently at Al-Nassr and formerly at Lens),he Stade Rennais has set its sights on Brice Samba. We know that in Brittany, coach Jorge Sampaoli and current goalkeeper Steve Mandanda will not go on vacation together. Thus, Arnaud Pouille's club is working on the arrival of a new goalkeeper who meets the expectations of the recently arrived coach.
An agreement between Lens and Rennes?
Not necessarily opposed to the idea of leaving, Brice Samba would view this opening favorably, according to The Team. If the captain leaves, Racing could recover a nice check, much higher than the amount paid to secure his services in 2022 (€5 million). Always according to The Team, an agreement in principle already exists between Lens and Rennes concerning Samba, which could be committed for the next four and a half years.
In the event of Samba's departure, Racing could promote Hervé Koffi as number 1. But the option of recruiting has not been ruled out.
