Boukari “will know more very soon”

This is no secret, RC Lens attacking midfielder Razak Boukari is a priority target for the Stade Rennais. Observed since several years, the Togolese international had already been targeted when the Breton club looked for a joker at the beginning of this autumn.

A few hours away from the winter transfer window opening, Boukari doesn’t know what his future will be made of yet. “I will know more in two days, he affirmed to L’Equipe’s website on Wednesday, confirming in the process that the Lens management was ready to see him go.

Struggling for survival in Ligue 1, the Lens club is also facing financial difficulties. The sale of Boukari would allow the club to refund part of its debt. “If I had to go, it would feel weird, the player explains. I had good times and bad times here. I would feel quite sh.. about leaving my team-mate in the relegation zone. But maybe it’s time for me…

Having scored three goals in eighteen games since the beginning of the season, the 23 years old is contracted to Lens until June 2013. Besides Stade Rennes, Toulouse FC is also reportedly interested in his transfer.
