Andy Diouf (Basel to RC Lens) - €15

RC Lens has made a statement by formalizing the arrival of Andy Diouf, the French international midfielder from Basel. Diouf, recently named the best young player in the UEFA Conference League, joins Lens after an impressive season with Basel, reaching the semifinals of the tournament. The signing comes as Lens prepares for the upcoming Champions League campaign after finishing second in Ligue 1, narrowly missing out on the title to PSG. The club sees Diouf as a high-potential player who will strengthen midfield. Negotiations with Basel are underway, with a reported €15 million package being demanded for the transfer.

There’s still a lot of time for big names to move across Europe!
