French clubs RC Lens and FC Nantes focus on summer transfer moves

RC Lens is actively searching for a left‑back to strengthen a defensive line weakened by injuries. The club’s staff notes that Samson Baidoo will be out until October and that the left‑flank position, currently vacant after Matthieu Udol, needs a reliable backup. Lens also faces the loss of Saïd and Saint‑Maximin, which remain unfilled.

FC Nantes supporters anticipate the possible departure of French left‑back Kelvin Amian, with AC Monza mentioned as a likely destination. A recent fan poll showed 60 % expecting Amian to leave, reflecting broader speculation that the summer market will be busy for French clubs, especially after Nantes’ recent relegation to Ligue 2. The club’s future transfer activity is being closely watched by its fan base.
