Lens make stance on Przemyslaw Frankowski sale clear following Galatasaray approach | OneFootball

Will Still said that Galatasaray target Przemyslaw Frankowski (29) was “not in the right frame of mind” to play for RC Lens as they slipped to a 2-0 defeat to OGC Nice.

Frankowski is the subject of considerable interest from Galatasaray, who have seen an opening offer for the Poland international rejected by Lens. It was within this context that he was excluded from the matchday squad to face Nice, fuelling speculation about an impending transfer to Turkey.

The problem for Les Sang et Or, however, is that they would be unable to replace the full-back. As a result, their stance is clear – they will not sell.

That stance was revealed during a post-match press conference, attended by Get French Football News. “ Not in the right state mentally to make the trip and play in this match […] but the stance of the club is clear, Franky will not leave,” said the Lens manager. Having already seen approaches for Olympique Lyonnais duo Clinton Mata and Ainsley Maitland-Niles rebuffed, Galatasaray may once again have to look elsewhere.
