RC Lens attacked from all sides!

“We don’t always have our hands on these things. We are aware of our size, and if big people come for players or staff members, there is not much we can do. We are preparing for these eventualities.”After the 3-0 victory against Ajaccio on the 37th day of Ligue 1, the president of RC Lens Joseph Oughourlian, very rare in the media, spoke about the offensives to come on his best players in the summer transfer window. Clear about the value of his best players, the Lensois manager was already worried about a summer that could be terrible for the second of the last edition of Ligue 1.

Especially since the first attack was not long in coming with an offensive from RB Leizpig for the home scorer of RCL, Loïs Openda. But contrary to what Oughourlian indicated, Lens will not lay down their arms easily. As we revealed to you, Lens refused an initial offer of €30 million from the German club for the Belgian international striker. We are also able to reveal to you that the second attempt will have to be really significant and much superior to the first to bend the direction of the northern club.

After Danso and Openda, an upcoming offensive on Facundo Medina!

But it’s not just up front that Franck Haise’s band should be worried. If Seko Fofana should quickly see clubs swoop down on him, it is more the defensive sector that raises fears of the worst. As announced in our columns, Kevin Danso is the subject of concrete approaches from Italy about him (AC Milan, Napoli, Fiorentina), another defender and not the least is also very courted. According to our information, the Argentinian international Facundo Medina (24) is very popular across the Channel and several Premier League clubs have supervised him on several occasions at Bollaert.

Brighton (6th in PL), which wants to strengthen its defensive sector, and a club whose name has not been filtered are very fond of this explosive player who is hard on the man, strong in duels, with a winning and pillar mentality of the Lensoise defence. This discovery of Florent Ghisolfi, who had recruited him for 3.5 M€ from Talleres Cordoba the year of the rise of Lens in Ligue 1, is considered today as one of the best defenders in Ligue 1. But there again, we will have to find the arguments to convince the artesian club to let go of one of its executives (32 matches-2 goals in L1 this season) who recently extended his contract until June 2026 and who was selected with the world champion team for Argentina’s tour of Asia in June.
