The RC Lensdespite a few departures last summer including that ofElye Wahiis still far from its objectives. The Artesian club is seeking to reduce its finances and would be ready to sacrifice one of its crack players in January, for this purpose.
Mercato RC Lens: David Pereira Da Costa towards a possible departure in January?
RC Lens attacking midfielder David Pereira Da Costa is the subject of all attention as the winter transfer window approaches. Holder and decisive passer in the recent 3-2 victory against FC Nantes, the Portuguese is of great interest to several Major League Soccer clubs. According to The Teamthe management of Sang et Or would be open to a departure of its 23-year-old crack.
This possible departure is part of RC Lens’ desire to balance its finances. The northern club, which had initially planned to achieve 47 million euros in net sales last summer, did not achieve this objective. The non-departures of players like Kevin Danso and El Aynaoui also weighed on Lens’ finances.
To compensate for these shortcomings, RC Lens could therefore part ways with certain players, including David Pereira Da Costa. Less used this season by Will Still, the Portuguese could be tempted by a new challenge across the Atlantic.
A profile that pleases
Pereira Da Costa’s technical qualities and vision of the game appeal to MLS clubs. His experience in Ligue 1 and his young age (23 years old) make him a very interesting profile for North American franchises. Although discussions are ongoing, nothing has yet been decided. The RCL does not wish to sell off its player and is waiting for a satisfactory offer.
The player himself will also have to agree to a departure. A departure of Pereira Da Costa would have sporting and financial consequences for Lens. The club should then find a suitable replacement and rebalance its squad. Financially, this sale would improve the club’s financial situation.
