French midfielder Michaël Cuisance, who is 26 years old, is moving to France to join RC Lens, where Dino Toppmöller is the new coach. This move will enable the left-footed player to participate in the Champions League, which is a change from his situation at Hertha, where he was intended for the number six position in the 2. Bundesliga. The transfer fee is reportedly approximately five million euros, and Cuisance is expected to sign a contract until at least 2029. The deal is proceeding even though the player and his family recently expressed a desire to remain in Berlin. This is occurring in the context of Hertha's financial situation, as the club is reportedly looking to remove its top earners from the payroll. According to BILD information, discussions between Cuisance and Lens have been ongoing for some time. BILD also reported that on Thursday, Cuisance left Hertha's camp in Kienbaum a few hours after arriving. While no one confirmed the deal's completion that evening, it is expected to be finalized soon. Cuisance joined Hertha in July 2024 and made 31 appearances during the 2025/2026 2. Bundesliga season, contributing 3 goals and 5 assists. He has one cap for the France U21 team. His current market value is €3.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
