A Bola reports on the interest from Lens and Lyon in Ruben Kluivert. Lens, like Lyon, showed interest in Ruben Kluivert but were told by Casa Pia that he would only be released for his five million euro release clause. The negotiations with Lens have not progressed as Lyon's offer did.

RC Lens is in competition with Olympique Lyon to sign Ruben Kluivert, according to sources associated with RC Lens. Kluivert's strong performances at Casa Pia have attracted the attention of both French teams. The 24-year-old defender has become an essential player for Casa Pia, which secured ninth place in Portugal's top league. While RC Lens is still interested, Lyon appears to be at the forefront of the pursuit, having renewed their interest after ensuring their status in Ligue 1. It is reported that negotiations between Lyon and Casa Pia are well advanced, with expectations of a record-breaking transfer fee for the Portuguese club. A five-year contract is reportedly prepared for Kluivert in France.
