Mercato, RC Lens wants to further strengthen its defense!

The Racing Club de Lens has had a fairly good start to the 2024-2025 financial year overall. The Sang et Or are still undefeated in Ligue 1 with a record of 2 wins and 5 draws (including 5 consecutive).

Will Still’s men are especially solid in the defensive sector with only 4 goals conceded since the start of the season. Despite this solidity, Still would like to strengthen in defense and more particularly at the right-back position in the winter transfer window.

According to information fromAfricaFoot, the RCL would target Malian defender Fodé Doucouré, who is currently playing with Red Star in Ligue 2. Currently, the former Stade de Reims manager can only count on Ruben Aguilar and Przemysław Frankowski.

Under contract until June 2025

Fodé Doucouré could be a great deal for the Lens team this winter. Under contract until June 2025 with Red Star, the Malian defender could experience a great rise in his career if he were to join the Lensois.

In addition, its price could push leaders Blood and Gold to take action. Its market value reaches €400,000 on Transfermarkt. A versatile player who can play on the right or left, the Malian is performing well at the start of the season where he played 7 matches for an achievement against the leader Paris FC on September 28.
