CSKA Moscow made inquiries about Salis Abdul Samed, a 25-year-old Ghanaian midfielder, but due to the geopolitical context, a move to Russia is not considered feasible. The interests in Abdul Samed, who recently returned to Lens after a loan at Sunderland, are primarily coming from Turkish clubs, including Kayserispor and Basaksehir, who are exploring a loan option. The player, whose contract with the French club runs until 2028 and has a current market value of €5.50m according to Transfermarkt, is prioritizing a move to a club in Europe's top 5 leagues.
