Lens Adamant About Retaining Frankowski Despite Galatasaray’s Interest

RC Lens has made their position clear regarding the potential transfer of Przemyslaw Frankowski to Galatasaray. Despite the Turkish club’s keen interest in the 29-year-old Polish player, Lens is determined to retain him.

Frankowski’s absence from the recent match against OGC Nice, which resulted in a 2-0 defeat for Lens, fueled speculation about his future. Manager Will Still explained that Frankowski was not in the right mental state to participate in the game, given the ongoing transfer discussions.

However, Lens finds itself in a challenging position. While Galatasaray has already had an initial offer rejected, Lens is reluctant to sell Frankowski due to their inability to secure a replacement. The transfer window’s closure further complicates the situation.

During a post-match press conference, Still emphatically stated, “The club’s stance is clear: Franky will not leave.” This declaration comes as a setback for Galatasaray, who may need to explore alternative options. The Turkish club has already faced rejection in their pursuit of Olympique Lyonnais players Clinton Mata and Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

As the transfer saga continues, Lens remains firm in their resolve to keep Frankowski, recognizing his importance to the team. The coming days will reveal whether Galatasaray persists in their efforts or shifts their focus elsewhere.
