After weeks of behind-the-scenes negotiations, RC Lens and RSC Anderlecht have reached a formal agreement over the permanent transfer of defender Malang Sarr. However, the move remains in limbo, pending the player’s final approval.
The Franco-Senegalese center-back, currently on the books at Lens, has been offered a two-year deal by Belgian giants Anderlecht, with an option for a third year. This agreement between the clubs marks a significant step forward in what has been a protracted transfer saga. But the final hurdle remains: Sarr himself has yet to give the green light.
Sources close to the situation suggest that while the terms are on the table, the 26-year-old is weighing other potential options and appears hesitant about making the switch to Belgium. The uncertainty surrounding his willingness to relocate is causing a delay in finalizing the deal.
Anderlecht, known for strengthening their back line with experienced talent, sees Sarr as a key addition to their defensive setup. For RC Lens, offloading Sarr would free up roster space and potentially contribute funds for other reinforcements.
Until Sarr makes his decision, both clubs — and fans — are left in a holding pattern. The ball is firmly in the defender’s court as the summer transfer window edges forward.
Stay tuned as the story develops.
