RC Lens secures Ganiou extension and signs Ivanović

RC Lens is undergoing significant squad adjustments ahead of the Ligue 1 season. The club has secured a long-term commitment from defender Ismaëlo Ganiou, who signed a contract extension lasting until 2030. Sporting director Jean-Louis Leca described the move as a symbol of the club's ambition and a reward for the player's rapid progression from the youth academy.

Simultaneously, the club is addressing offensive needs following an injury to attacker Odsonne Édouard during a pre-season match against Sunderland. To bolster the attacking line, RC Lens has reached an agreement to sign Croatian striker Franjo Ivanović, who reportedly chose the French club over interest from Lazio.
