Big turnaround this January 3 when RC Lens no longer wants to sell Brice Samba to RC Lens.
It's a little surprise that has just come out… While everything was blocked for the arrival of Brice Samba at Stade Rennais, RC Lens would have decided to cancel the deal at 15 million euros according to information from RMC Sport this 3 January evening. An ultra surprising decision when Will Still had confirmed the departure of Brice Samba a few hours ago. “Keeping a player who no longer wants to be there is not necessarily a good thing for a locker room, so it’s not that complicated,” had released the Belgian coach of Lens this Friday before the reception in Toulouse.
Rennes' attitude as a reason?
Even more surprising, the reason for this about-face by RC Lens. RMC Sport understands that if the Artesian club decided to cancel the transfer of Brice Samba, it is because of the attitude of Stade Rennais. This would be a decision due to “the communication policy of Rennes, particularly of its management”, can we read. A bluff from RC Lens? To be continued but it would be unlikely that Brice Samba would stay in the North this winter.
