This is a real twist in the transfer of Brice Samba, captain and goalkeeper of RC Lens, to Stade Rennais where a contract until 2029 awaited him. The operation was to amount to 15 million euros and the two clubs had reached an agreement. But the northern leaders finally turned around and decided to cancel the transfer according to information from RMC Sport. The Sang et Or management would have made this decision in the face of the communication policy of Stade Rennais, in particular its management.
Samba on the bench until the end of the season
While the 7th in Ligue 1 was very close to recruiting Brice Samba's replacement, in the person of Jean Butez, the management ultimately derailed both operations. Will Still, however, announced at a press conference the departure of his captain and had entrusted the responsibility to Herve Koffi, goalkeeper number 2, to take over and show his level on Sunday against Toulouse. Except that the Burkinabé goalkeeper has touches in France and Belgium and Brice Samba should be put on the bench until the end of the season. A real musical chair is therefore installed in this position while a check for 15 million euros, important for the club's finances, is gone.
