Lens’ Przemyslaw Frankowski forcing through Galatasaray move | OneFootball

Will Still said on Saturday that RC Lens’ stance regarding the sale of Przemyslaw Frankowski (29) was clear with the club stating that their full-back was not for sale. However, following an approach from Galatasaray, the Poland international looks set to leave regardless, as per Foot Mercato.

The French transfer window has been closed for almost a week, however, the window in Turkey closes on Tuesday. Galatasaray have been in the market for a right-back and have seen approaches for Olympique Lyonnais duo Ainsley-Maitland Niles and Clinton Mata rejected.

Lens were also originally reticent to sell Frankowski, however, he has decided to refuse to train and play for Les Sang et Or in a bid to force a move to Galatasaray. Still said that the defender was not in the “right frame of mind” to face OGC Nice at the weekend.

Frankowski is now therefore likely to leave Lens in the coming hours. The value of the deal is expected to be around €10m (loan with obligation to buy). Lens will not be able to replace the departing right-back.
