The RC Lens is already preparing for the summer mercato and is exploring a surprise trail in Africa. According to Africa Soccer, the Sangs and Gold might be of interest to Ali Youssef, a strong central defender of the Tunis African Club. At only 23 years old, the player established himself as one of the pillars of the Tunisian championship where he made a remarkable season. By having played 21 games and scored 4 goals, his statistics testify to his both defensive and offensive impact.

His strength in air duels and defensive rigor make him a player able to stabilize a defense and bring an additional danger on stopped kicks. It is therefore no wonder that several European clubs, including the Angers SCO, are also interested in its services.

The Club Africain is aware of the value of its player and does not count the brader. Under contract until June 2026, Youssef is already the subject of several offers, including one to 1.2 million euros from another Tunisian club. However, the management of the Tunisian club sets the bar at 2.7 million euros, building on the potential for progress of their Libyan international in the 5 selections.

For RC Lens, it would be a bet in line with its current recruitment policy. Could Ali Youssef be the next offensive reinforcement of the artesian club? For now, it’s just a rumor. It is difficult Currently, it is difficult to give much weight to this information, especially since the Sang et Or are actively working to extend the loan of Juma Bah, Ismaël Ganiou will return to the 62, and the sporting director is primarily looking for a left-footed player to replace Facundo Medina.
