Still not in the plans of Pep Guardiola, the young Juma Bah could remain an increasingly ready season in Bollaert.
Author of a convincing half-season under the colors of RC Lens, Juma Bah (19) left a good impression in the North. Loaned by Manchester City, the central defender quickly established himself in rotation with 10 appearances in Ligue 1, before returning to England after the season. But this departure could be only temporary: the Cityzens wish to offer him a new freelash of loan to continue his progress.
On the side of Lens, management actively reflects on the possibility of repatriating the young talent for an additional season. The exchanges continue with Manchester City, but the Artesian club has already set its conditions: a loan without option to buy and a better wage distribution are at the heart of the discussions. It remains to be seen whether that will be enough, because the competition is there – several Spanish clubs would also be interested. In parallel, the Lensoise recruitment cell, led by Jean-Louis Leca, explores other defensive tracks to anticipate all scenarios. To be continued in the coming weeks.
Abdulai Juma Bah (19) could be loaned by Manchester City to Girona FC.
The Sierra-Léonais defender, valued at € 6 million, comes out of a successful loan to the RC Lens but does not appear in the immediate plans of Guardiola.
