The Lensois transfer window was obviously not completely completed. This Monday, RMC Sport revealed two unexpected starts. David Pereira Da Costa, the 24-year-old attacking midfielder, takes off for the United States. He joined Portland against an estimated amount of 7 million euros. The player is now awaiting his visa to finalize his transfer.
Two major confirmed departures in Lens
Another major departure: Przemysław Frankowski. After going on strike to accelerate his transfer, the Polish international will join Galatasaray. Lens accepted an offer of around 10 million euros from the Turkish club. These two departures considerably weaken the workforce of Will Still, already under pressure after saws of saw.
As if that were not enough, the RC Lens will also have to deal with three absences for the next games. Facundo Medina will be suspended after his red card received against Strasbourg, leaving his team ten for a big half hour. Adrien Thomasson, warned of the action that brought the penalty during the defeat against Nice, will also miss the call against Nantes. Finally, Hamzat Ojedina, warned at the end of the match, will also be absent for the next meeting.
Three additional absences weaken the team
These absences are added to an already fragile dynamic. Last weekend, the Lensois delivered what many consider to be their worst performance of the season against Nice. Florian Sotoca tried to explain this poor performance by speaking of a “Cost accident”, But the signs of fragility are increasing.
With these five defections, the RC Lens sees its workforce seriously reduced while crucial matches are looming. The pressure rises on Will Still, which will have to find solutions to relaunch a loss of speed. The next match against Nantes will be a decisive test to measure the ability of blood and gold to bounce despite these hard strokes.
Between agitated transfer window and cascade suspensions, the situation becomes worrying. The RC Lens must quickly find stability if it wants to remain competitive in the race for European places.
