The Lensois transfer window enters a decisive phase. While the resumption of training is approaching, blood and gold have decided to reopen a file put aside for several months. A defensive target that the club follows for a long time resurfaced. This movement, strategic in many ways, could redraw the balance of the Artesian workforce. In a context of multiple departures, this initiative is not by chance. It testifies to a clear will: stabilize the central axis before the situation degrades more.
Lens identified Medina's replacement
Because at the same time, the departure of Facundo Medina to OM seems more and more inevitable. To succeed him, the RC Lens activates behind the scenes and advances on the Carlos Teran case. The 24 -year -old Colombian Central Defender has been playing in Chicago in MLS since 2020. According to information from Foot Mercato, an agreement would be close between the two clubs for a transfer valued at around 3 million euros. An affordable amount for a physical profile, powerful and effective in duels, recalling in many ways a certain Kevin Danso.
With the departures already acted from Khusanov, Frankowski, Danso and soon Samba, the vertebral column of Defense Lensoise has shattered. The arrival of Pierre Sage on the bench will not be able to bear fruit without a minimum of defensive guarantees. With this in mind, Carlos Teran recruitment is a priority. The end of the loan of Juma Bah, now in Nice, still accentuates the urgency. Teran embodies a solution that is both immediate and consistent to secure a flicker sector.
Teran, a central room for Sage Stone?
A smart blow at 3 million euros
Beyond the player's profile, the economic maneuver is attractive. With such a controlled transfer compensation, Lens realizes a judicious movement that could appease discussions with OM on the Medina file. Marseille leaders even hope that this arrival will facilitate negotiations, the RC Lens demanding for the moment more than 25 million euros. The balancingist game between sales and recruitments continues, but the adjustment seems intelligent and calibrated.
It remains to validate the latest details of the operation. Carlos Teran checks all the player's boxes to revive on the European scene. At 24, its potential seems intact and its profile could perfectly stick to the pressing and the intensity that Pierre Sage wishes to establish. If the operation concludes in the coming days, he could join the group as soon as the recovery, with the ambition of quickly becoming a pillar. The future of the Lensoise defense could well be written in Colombian letters.
