If the end of the season is approaching, the RC Lens is already preparing next season. After completing the file of the future equipment supplier with a record contract to the key and 8th in Ligue 1 just six points from OL, the Artesian club is already on all fronts. Obviously, the summer transfer window risks occupying many spirits within the decision -makers of the RCL. Between the extensions of Deiver Machado and Ruben Aguilar, even Neil El Aynaoui, the possible departure of Facundo Medina and the loan returns, the director general of the RC Lens Pierre Dreossi and the sports director Diego Lopez will not unemployment.
Despite the precarious financial situation of Ligue 1, the RC Lens should be relatively quiet. Nevertheless, the policy aimed at avoiding expensive recruitments and extraordinary wages may still be in force this summer. The northern club will still play its networks to recruit all over Europe, but also in Ligue 2 and in National, in search of reinforcements at a lower cost. But Diego Lopez thinks of another possibility, namely to get closer to Manchester City to recover new players on loan.
Towards new shots at Juma Bah at RC Lens?
You should know that since the transfer of Kodir Khusanov to the Cityzens this winter, relations are in good shape between the two teams. This had also led by the loan of Juma Bah, freshly recruited by City in Valladolid, for six months. Since then, the defensive rock from Sierra Leone, who has already played 8 games since his arrival in Lens, has impressed after a few weeks of adaptation. An almost indisputable holder in the eyes of Will Still, this athletic player (1m95), engaged in duels and dominating in the air, rises in power as evidenced by his XXL performance against OL last weekend (12 clearances, 2 blocked shots, 3 interceptions, 94 % of successful passes, 7 duels won out of 7 including 5 air and 2 on the ground) Lensoise at Groupama Stadium (1-2).
Will Still, who had recently expressed his wish to see Bah (19 years old) remain an additional season (this possibility had already been mentioned during the loan of the player at the end of the winter transfer window), could therefore be filled since the Lensois sports director has been seen in Manchester in recent weeks according to our information to discuss the conditions for maintaining the player for at least one additional season. But in addition to the Juma Bah case, Diego Lopez took the opportunity to try the field in order to recover one or two promising elements of Manchester City on loan for next season. It remains to know the feasibility of the operation now. We saw it with Strasbourg recently, there is sometimes good to recover some talents from the Premier League…
