Second in the last Ligue 1 championship, RC de Lens has so far succeeded in its transfer window. At least from a financial point of view.

We can’t wait to see the Racing club de Lens in the Champions League. It will be curious and exciting to know if the enthusiastic play deployed last season by Franck Haise and his men will be enough to shine in Europe, namely to first cross the group stage.

The most pessimistic supporters of the Sang et Or will say that without captain Seko Fofana and the best striker Loïs Openda, sold respectively to Al-Nassr (Saudi Arabia) and Leipzig (Bundesliga), the Lensoise team will be diminished anyway.

The accounts, themselves, have been reinforced with some 68 million euros more, the result of the transfers of the Ivorian midfielder and the Belgian striker, to which we must oppose the 30M euros spent to recruit Andy Diouf, Angelo Fulgini, Oscar Cortes, Neil El Aynaoui and Morgan Guilavogui.

On Saturday, RC Lens added just over four million euros to the coffers. For this estimated price, Jean Onana was sold to Besiktas Istanbul. The Cameroonian midfielder has signed a four-year contract with the Turkish club.
