Lens shows its great ambitions. After a magnificent season in Ligue 1, crowned by a 2nd place and therefore qualification for the Champions League, the Northerners are starting, like other clubs in France, to dream big. After having sold Loïs Openda to RB Leipzig for 43M euros and Seko Fofana to Al-Nassr for 25M euros, Lens would seek to attract the attacking midfielder of AC Milan, the Belgian Charles De Ketelaere (22 years old).
In any case, this is confirmed by Tuttosport on Monday. The former Club Brugge player comes out of a complicated first season in Milan with only 9 starts and no goals scored. De Ketelaere was bought for 35M euros last summer.
The Lombard club would be open to resale for around 28M euros, while Leipzig, Newcastle, Aston Villa and PSV Eindhoven are also in the game.
