Pierre Dréossi, general director of RC Lens, provides an update on the transfer window (Ligue 1)

Pierre Dréossi confirmed it: there will be movement this month within the artesian club. At the microphone of DAZN this Sunday, the general director of RC Lens, whose team hosts Toulouse at 3 p.m., notably returned to two hot issues of the moment, the expected departures of Abdukodir Khusanov and Brice Samba.

Concerning the Uzbek central defender – a file for which sports director Diego Lopez has mandated Jorge Mendes for a possible transfer -, Dréossi first said “ Kodir will leave “, even if he then affirmed that he was waiting for an offer that met the expectations of the RCL, adding a dose of conditional: ” If he has to leave and if the offers are interesting, it is above all to try to find an economic balance. I hope that with its sale we will return to a level which corresponds more to that of RC Lens but without less ambitious ambition. » Hence the idea of ​​the sports management of “do everything to strengthen the team offensively”.

Samba is, as we wrote on Saturday, still close to a departure but the exchanges with Rennes are stagnating. “ The negotiations have not stopped but are a little tense and, for the moment, we are still in negotiations. This has been going on for ten days but, for the moment, there is no agreement », Confirmed Dréossi, while attesting to the idea of ​​a future departure since recruitment is envisaged for his position. “ We anticipated his departure and there is a good chance that, in a few days, there will be a guard arriving to cover any eventuality. »
