According to Foot Mercato, three Italian clubs are after the signing of RC Lens’ centreback Facundo Medina (24): AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus.
As a left-footed centre-back, the Argentine is something of a rare commodity, and adding to that his invaluable aggressivity when pressing and ball-playing ability from the back, Medina is logically one of the most sought-after defenders on the market, reportedly also attracting interest from an unnamed Premier League club.
However, although Lens could potentially ask for well over their player’s market value of €22 million, Les Sang et Or are instead looking to offer him a new contract extension, only one year since signing the current one in January of 2023. Last season, Medina was named Lens’ Player of the Season, so the board is logically looking to keep him at the club for as long as possible, while the departure of their other star centre-back Kevin Danso (25) next summer is more probable than ever.
Now remains the hardest part: finding a contractual agreement with Medina and his entourage in order to dissuade the incoming approaches.
