RC Lens is interested in Serge-Philippe Raux-Yao, a 26-year-old French-Ivorian centre-back from SK Rapid. Raux-Yao joined the Austrian club in the summer of 2024 on a free transfer from Rodez AF. RC Lens, which is currently second in Ligue 1, has not yet submitted a formal written offer. It is reported that SK Rapid is willing to enter negotiations if an offer in the high seven-figure range is made. The club is considered to be in a strong negotiating position because the central defender's contract is valid until the summer of 2028, particularly if it does not contain a release clause. Raux-Yao has a current Transfermarkt market value of €3.50m. He has made 23 appearances in the Bundesliga during the 2025/2026 season.
