Lens Defender Jonathan Gradit Nears Contract Extension

RC Lens defender Jonathan Gradit, 32, is on the verge of committing his long-term future to the club. Despite earlier uncertainty and interest from other teams, Gradit is now set to extend his contract with the French side until 2028.

The experienced center-back’s current deal is due to expire at the end of next season. However, recent developments have led to negotiations for a two-year extension. This new agreement would see Gradit remain with Lens until he turns 37, potentially marking the end of his professional career with the club.

Gradit’s decision to stay comes after a period of speculation during the January transfer window. The departures of other defensive players have since increased his importance to the team, solidifying his position in the starting lineup.

Sources close to the club indicate that Gradit has been impressed by Lens’ project and vision for the future. This commitment from both sides suggests a strong mutual trust and appreciation, with Gradit likely to play a key role in the team’s defensive strategy for years to come.
