Florian Soto, 34-year-old attacker, observed a gradual decline in his performance compared to his early years, although he remained a key pillar of the RC Lens locker room. The young coach, Will Still, gave him the honour of entrusting him with the captain’s armband following the departure of Brice Samba, thus stressing his importance in the team. The future of the player in the club will soon be discussed, a decision that is part of a transition period for RC Lens and its staff.
Despite this slight physical decline, Florian Soto’s commitment to RC Lens appears unwavering. Under contract until June 2026, an extension of his contract seems likely, as the player clearly expresses his desire to continue his career in the team. This continuity could even translate into a different, off-the-ground role inspired by examples of personalities such as Yannick Cahuzac and Jean-Louis Leca, allowing the player to continue to positively influence the club.
In parallel with these negotiations regarding his future at RC Lens, Florian Soto recently formalized an extension of his agreement with his representative agency, One Team Football. This structure, which it faithfully supports since 2015 and which also manages Ruben Aguilar’s interests, bears witness to the mutual trust established between the player and his professional circle.
