“If Neil El Aynaoui had been in a position to leave, he would not have played a minute from this match against Standard in Liège. The answer is between the lines, it's quite clear ”said Pierre Sage on Saturday on the sidelines of the friendly meeting against the Liège Standard (2-2) on Saturday about the future of Neil El Anyaoui. It must be said that a few hours earlier, we had revealed the existence of an agreement between the Lensois environment and AS Roma.
The subject was so sensitive for the Lensois technician but also for supporters of the Artesian club who obviously hope that the Moroccan international midfielder, a real pillar of blood and gold and author of a thunderous end of the season would extend his lease in the North which ends in June 2027. Unfortunately for them, the insistence of Roma and the desires of the player trained in ASNL HAS.
Current discussions between RC Lens and AS Roma
The club coached by Gian Piero Gasperini has passed concretely to the offensive for a few days. If Roma also targets the Brazilian midfielder from Palmeiras Richard Rios, Neil El Anyaoui is a priority objective for Italian formation. Proof of this is with this first offer made at the end of last week of the order of € 20 million + € 1 million in bonus rejected by the RC Lens.
After several days of silence, the La Louve club came to the assault this Thursday afternoon by making a second more ambitious offer with the management of the northern club according to our information. This new proposal is currently studied by RC Lens but there is currently no agreement between the two clubs, Lens remaining inflexible on the amount requested to release their Moroccan background. Discussions are planned in the coming hours. On the Roman side, we are now confident, but in this file with multiple twists and turns, everything is still possible.
