This is perhaps the end of a cycle that is coming to RC Lens. As we mentioned a few days ago, the Artesian club is already discussing with 5 players to strengthen its squad during this summer transfer window. But who says arrivals, undoubtedly says departures. Last year’s runner-up to PSG, who is still in the running for European qualification at the end of the season (Lens is currently 6th in Ligue 1), is preparing for a big upheaval. If Facundo Medina recently extended his contract, Kevin Danso for his part has a good chance of leaving Artois next summer, as the desires will rise this summer.

A scheduled departure (the arrival of his replacement is even almost complete) from the Austrian rock, which could also bring others if certain historical executives were called upon during the summer. Furthermore, the situation of the much-courted Franck Haise could have an impact on the decision of certain players (he recently said he wanted to stay, but maintaining a certain form of vagueness). However, according to our information, there will also be players who will be put on the market. The first is none other than Salis Abdul Samed. Recruited for €5 million in the summer of 2022 by Florent Ghisolfi, following the departure of Cheick Doucouré to Crystal Palace, the Ghanaian midfielder had a good first season alongside a very complementary Seko Fofana. But his second exercise in Sang et Or sometimes lacked relief.

Abdul Samed and Fulgini will not be selected
Overall disappointing when he was fielded, whether in the Champions League or the Championship, the Ghanaian international (16 caps) is not impeccable in his invisible work either. So many reasons which will push Lens to probe the market to find a way out. Moreover, several English teams do not remain indifferent to the player’s profile at the moment. Angelo Fulgini, on the tightrope for weeks, sees his future very uncertain in the North. Although he has scored twice in the Champions League this season, the former international hopeful has not performed as expected. Starting only one match in two since August, the former Mainz player, recruited for €7 million in January 2023, will be invited to find a new project, although he has currently found a starting place for three matches and he is responsible for set pieces in particular.

The fact remains that RC Lens is already listening to potential offers for its attacking midfielder under contract until June 2027. If his qualities remain obvious, the emergence of a very regular David Pereira Da Costa in recent weeks, and the reliability of the indispensable and irremovable Florian Sotoca, did not work in his favor. Adrien Thomasson, faithful soldier of the Artesian club and brilliant since his arrival last winter, is also a victim of the emergence of the “Little Prince of Gaillette”, Pereira Da Costa. However, today there is a greater chance of seeing the ex-Nantes player stay in Lens than his two teammates. It would take a good offer from a Ligue 1 club, presenting more sporting guarantees, for the situation to be likely to change. Let it be said, the summer promises to be hot in Lens.
