Mathew Ryan, who joined Lens as a backup option after a complicated situation with Pau Lopez, completed a good second half of the season with six clean sheets in 14 appearances. Despite wanting to extend his contract with Lens, he is not the priority for Diego Lopez, who has started exploring other options for the goalkeeper position. Ryan expressed his gratitude to the fans and his desire to continue at Lens, but nothing is confirmed for the next season.

Matthew Ryan is listed among players who might be released at the end of the season, making him available for a free transfer.
