The RC Lens transfer window is driving behind the scenes, and little -known information could upset the club's balance faster than you think. Few supporters know this: a discreet clause, negotiated there are several seasons, threatens today to cause a double earthquake on the Artesian workforce. Behind rumors fever and departures already acted, the threat is very real – and it begins with a simple contract paragraph.

A resale clause that is expensive in Lens

Everything starts from the Facundo Medina case, whose imminent transfer animates the Mercato section. According to “Talleres Mi Pasión” and several French sources, the Argentinian club of Talleres will benefit from 20 % of the capital gain during the resale of the defender. If OM offers Medina for the 25 million euros hoped, Lens would receive “only” 17 million net, the difference flying directly to South America. A dry loss that could block other operations.

The discussions between Lens and Olympique de Marseille are intensifying. According to the team, the case could be concluded before the end of the month, the Argentinian wishing to join Zerbi without delay. If the BTO loops the signature quickly, a whole part of the Lensoise defense would fly away, leaving a difficulty difficult to fill.

Hidden clause, domino effect: summer at high risk of RC Lens

The Yehvann Diouf file compromised

In parallel, Lens is actively working on the recruitment of a new goalkeeper. Yehvann Diouf, Remoise Revelation, is targeted. But Reims claims 10 million euros while Lens only offers 6 to 7, according to Foot Mercato. Torino, in ambush, threatens to overcome. However, the shortfall on Medina makes this dossier particularly complicated to finalize.

After sales of dancing (€ 25 million) and Khusanov (€ 40 million), management thought it has secured margins. But the Talleres clause is cumbers up any additional benefit. If Diouf escapes them, Lens would attack the season with a defense project … and a goalkeeper n ° 1 far from being unanimous.

A threat to the entire Sang-et-Or project

The next few weeks promise to be crucial for leaders. Will the Talleres clause be the grain of sand that will influence the whole project? The answer could fall before the end of the month, when Marseille and Reims have shot down their last cards.
