Mattia Fortin, a young Italian goalkeeper, has been recruited by RC Lens until 2030. He will continue his development on loan at Padova for the 2025/26 season.

Lens, owned by Joseph Oughourlian who is also the majority shareholder of Padova, is considering acquiring Mattia Fortin. This move could provide significant financial benefits for Padova. Fortin might stay on loan at Padova for another season, especially if Padova is promoted to Serie B. Oughourlian is expected to visit Padova soon, and Fortin's future will be a key discussion topic.

Mattia Fortin has also drawn interest from Lens, a Ligue 1 team. The proposed deal involves a transfer fee between 3 and 4 million euros, with Fortin being loaned back to Padova until the end of the season.
