The Racing Club de Lens is currently looking for a new attacker, a necessity particularly felt after the recent defeat against Olympique Lyonnais, which highlighted the team’s offensive weaknesses. Several leads are being explored, including Brighton’s Abdallah Sima, but this option seems to be moving away. The Lens club reportedly started discussions with Mostafa Mohamed, the attacker of FC Nantes, whose contract extended until 2027. However, this information has not been formally confirmed by sources close to the file.

Information from reliable sources at FC Nantes, including Emmaunel Merceron, denied Lens’ interest in Mostafa Mohamed. Merceron explicitly stated on X that there were no ongoing negotiations with the Lens club. This news aroused a strong reaction among the Lens supporters, who express their scepticism about this potential recruit.

Mostafa Mohamed’s arrival in Lens is also contested because of his refusal to participate in the annual campaign against homophobia organized by the Football League. This personal choice, justified by its religious beliefs, has already led to internal sanctions in the FC Nantes and would be misunderstood by the Lens community, which attaches great importance to the values of inclusion. In conclusion, despite the urgent need of an attacker, Mostafa Mohamed’s arrival at Lens seems unlikely at the moment, as negotiations have not begun and the player’s profile arouses strong mistrust among supporters.
