Earlier today, the capital club held a new round of talks with the player’s entourage, reports Fabrizio Romano.

So far, however, Lens are not letting the player go so easily. The French club already rejected one offer from Roma.

In these hours, Lens have intensified talks with the player’s agents to reach an agreement for the renewal of the contract.

The French club, in fact, would like to avoid losing an important element of their squad.
