In line with the last summer transfer window, RC Lens is in the process of recruiting a prestigious player from Borussia Dortmund.

Clearly, the RC Lens is more than ever on cloud nine. With a second place in Ligue 1 as well as a historic qualification for the final of the Coupe de France, a first since 1998, the Sang et Or club is experiencing an almost perfect 2025-2026 financial year.

One of the keys to this success lies in intelligent recruitment implemented during the last summer transfer window, notably with the arrivals of experienced players at lower costs, such as Florian Thauvin (€6 million), Matthieu Udol (€3.5 million) and Odsonne Édouard (€3.7 million).

Lens management therefore intends to maintain this strategy during the next transfer window. According to information from
The Last Hourthe name that was checked by the artesian club is that of Thorgan Hazard.

Thorgan Hazard will join RC Lens

The Belgian newspaper indicates that the top scorer of RSC Anderlecht this season – author of 15 goals as well as 11 assists in 40 matches – accepted the offer made by RC Lens, more interesting sportingly and financially than that of his current club. A two-year contract is mentioned.

At 33, the former Borussia Dortmund player will make his comeback in Pas-de-Calais, fifteen years after his professional debut in July 2011 under the Sang et Or jersey.
