After lengthy negotiations, CF Captain Metz, Matthieu Udol, is about to join RC Lens, ending a sports show. The 29-year-old, trained at Metz, left his training club after a professional career of 185 games, including 89 in Ligue 1. His decisive role in the dams against Reims and his regularity last season (37 games, 6 goals and 8 assists) attracted the attention of RC Lens, who is looking for a reliable player for the left flank.

Negotiations between the two clubs were complex, with initial requests from Metz for at least EUR 5 million, against an offer of EUR 4 million from Lens. Udol’s determination to join RC Lens, demonstrated by his absence from the training, has precipitated the conclusion of the agreement, which remains subject to a medical examination. This departure marks an important step for FC Metz, but the club has already taken steps to strengthen itself with the arrival of Yannis Lawsoen.

For RC Lens, the arrival of Udol represents a potential reinforcement and could boost the team, including by offering more competition to a position that could see the departure of Jhoanner Chavez. This transfer could therefore be a win-win move for the Lens club, allowing to consolidate its staff and target higher in future competitions. The arrival of Udol is seen as an opportunity to strengthen the strength of the team and offer new perspectives for next season.
