The Lens Racing Club is preparing for an active mercato, with the goal of disposing of two key players, Angelo Fulgini and Salis Abdul Samed. This strategic decision is aimed at reducing the club’s payroll and freeing up financial resources to increase staff strength. The arrival of a defensive environment like Lucas Goorna-Douath, a player highly appreciated by sports director Jean-Louis Leca, is a priority. At the same time, Lens is looking to recruit an experienced Ligue 1 attacker who can score goals regularly.

The preferred route to meet this need is Thijs Dallinga, currently attacking Dutch in Bologna. After an encouraging season in Toulouse, where he scored 19 goals in 44 games, Dallinga had a tougher season in Italy, with 7 goals in all competitions. However, his powerful profile, his sense of displacement and his ability to finish the actions before the goal still earned him a solid recognition in France.

To secure the acquisition of Thijs Dallinga, RC Lens is considering a loan option with a purchase clause, which is considered to be less risky. The player, aged 25, is open for a return to France, where he already knows the championship codes. Although Lens is a serious contender, other clubs such as Stade Rennais and OGC Nice have also shown interest in the Dallinga case, making competition more competitive.
