And when we know that the residents of the Stade Bollaert have spent “only” 17 million euros to build their “wall”, primarily made up of the excellent Franco-Congolese goalkeeper Brice Samba (purchased for 5 million euros at Nottingham Forest in last summer market), but also an almost insurmountable central cornerstone with his three aces: Facundo Medina (hired for a total of 6 million euros including bonuses in CA Talleres in Argentina in 2020), Kevin Danso (the Austrian international was scouted for €5.5 million to FC Augsbourg during the summer of 2021) and Jonathan Gradit (a check for around €500,000 was enough to get him away from Caen in August 2019), we tell ourselves that Franck Haise’s men command a lot of respect !
Recall that 17 million euros is also the sum that the Lensois managers had recovered during the sale of Loïc Badé to Rennes in 2021… We can therefore salute the splendid management of RC Lens. And we can’t wait to see the Sang et Or on the lawns of Ligue 1 again during this second part of the season!
