By finishing in second place in the French championship, Racing Club de Lens obtained its ticket to play in the next edition of the Champions League. A first since the 2002-2003 season which could attract several names this summer. But a player on loan to Racing this season will not benefit from Europe, with his club intent on getting him back.
Like many Ligue 1 clubs, RC Lens risks experiencing a very turbulent summer transfer window. The Lensois leaders already know that they will not be able to retain Loïs Openda, very courted in Europe after having scored 21 goals in Ligue 1 this season. To compensate for his departure, the Sang et Or are targeting Gift Orban, the La Gantoise striker who is also attracting the interest of OM and LOSC, and have spotted the right piston of Bastia, Kevin Van Den Kerkhoff. But while Salis Abdul Samed recently formalized his contract extension at Racing until 2028, a player should on the contrary not stay in the north, his loan expiring this summer.
Alexis Claude Maurice must return to Nice
This player is Alexis Claude Maurice. Author of 6 goals and 4 assists in 25 games this season with the Sang et Or, the French should return to OGC Nice this summer, according to the Voice of the North. The native of Noisy-le-Grand, who has not often started in Lens, intends to win with the Aiglons who are awaiting the arrival of Régis Le Bris, the main suitor to replace Didier Digard on the bench. His double against AJ Auxerre on the last day was not enough to motivate the Lensois leaders, the player not having a purchase option.
