The Sage Stone Revolution is underway at RC Lens. The new coach made strong decisions when leaving for the internship in England with a reduced workforce. The undesirable like Angelo Fulgini and Salis Abdul Samed were left at Quai, invited to find a new club. The objective is clear: working with a more limited and more concerned group. But this degreasing is not only a question of group cohesion. It is a sine qua non condition to be able to take the next step, to finally attack the file which has become the absolute priority of the management.
Lens wants a scorer to complete recruitment
This priority is the recruitment of an attacker. As precise La Voix du NordRC Lens must sell before it can position itself on the market to strengthen its attacking sector. The club needs liquidity, and all eyes turn to the midfielder. With players like Andy Diouf or even the promising Anass Zaroury, the club hopes to make significant sales. The future of Goduine Koyalipou, valued around 5 million euros, is also under discussion.
The equation is simple: without departures, no arrival in front. Pierre Sage knows, and that is why the situation of certain fields of land is so scrutinized. The case of Andy Diouf is particularly emblematic. Very courted in England, his departure could unlock the situation and give the club the means of his ambitions to attract a number 9.
An attacker for Lens? Not so simple, here is what blocks the file
A project under construction
In the meantime, Pierre Sage composes with the forces involved. The coach says he is satisfied with the progress observed in the last friendly matches and the involvement of his players. He took advantage of these meetings to give their first minutes to the new recruits like Matthieu Udol and Samson Baidoo, who are starting to find their marks. The project is set up, brick by brick.
But the Lensois technician knows that his workforce is not yet complete. This last touch is missing, this offensive piece that will complete the puzzle. The RC Lens transfer window is therefore suspended from these sales. Supporters will have to be patient. The new priority is known to everyone within the club, but to make it happen, it will first be necessary to succeed in selling well. The final sprint of the transfer window promises to be intense at the Gaillette.
