RC Lens had a memorable and historic season in Ligue 1. The Sang et Or will be present in the Champions League in the coming months.
By finishing second in Ligue 1 just 1 point behind PSG, RC Lens has given itself the right to compete in the most prestigious of European club competitions. Franck Haise’s men will be in hat 4 in C1 and will therefore inevitably come across a very tough group. To have a chance of creating an illusion, the Sang et Or will have to have a good team. This will go through a good transfer window but also the fact of limiting big departures. However, Lens will hardly be able to say no to certain clubs and certain offers. Already, it is Loïs Openda who could leave the ship and join Leipzig. A loss which would be very important and which ultimately worries Denis Balbir, who is afraid that this departure will push others to do the same…
Lens, towards a difficult season?

During a column for Goal Soccer Clubthe journalist was clear on the subject. “What will happen with the other players? If the door opens for Loïs Openda, some will say to themselves: “why not me? “. We risk the tidal effect. Will Lens stay on its line by setting the limit at one or two maximum departures or open the way to more in the face of the sums offered? You can see it: the Racing locker room really exudes the joy of living but, when there is money at stake, there are no more friends: everyone plays their personal card. The management will really have to be very firm in its speech very quickly. Players and their agents will also have to accept the rules of the game. Jealousy must not begin to set in internally. It really depends on the success or otherwise of the 2023-24 season…”, in particular indicated Denis Balbir, who would find it really unfortunate that Lens tarnishes his next season after the one carried out. Unfortunately, this has been the trend with certain French clubs for several years.
