In France as in the rest of Europe, the transfer market is already very hot. As often unfortunately, some of the best players in our championship could go abroad.
Next season, RC Lens will have the chance to compete in the Champions League without even going through the play-off box. Franck Haise’s men entertained their fans but also the observers during the last exercise. Many hope to see competitive Blood and Gold to play on all fronts. But as often, the best players from the most financially modest teams are looted. Lens should be no exception to the rule. Indeed, Seko Fofana and Loïs Openda are more than ever on the start. Saudi Arabia reaches out to the Ivorian when Leipzig does everything possible to convince the Belgian to leave the Sang et Or. Another Ligue 1 player of great interest to the German club: Castello Lukeba.

In recent hours, Leipzig announced the departure of Dominik Szoboszlai to Liverpool against a check for 70 million euros. That of Josko Gvardiol for €100m to Manchester City is expected to follow soon. With part of this money, the Germans are preparing major works, because it appears that Leipzig is more confident than ever to complete the Openda and Lukeba files. Anyway, that’s what it says Foot Mercato. The media reports that the Bundesliga side have sent a new offer to Lens for Loïs Openda. Offer which is close to the requirements of Lens, which would be around 45-50 million euros. Regarding Lukeba, Leipzig will send its offer very soon. The weekend is even specified. What to win the bet? Reply very quickly. But barring a twist, Ligue 1 is about to lose two of its nuggets once again.
