Ismaëlo Ganiou’s two-year Lens extension followed Amorim call and talks with Pierre Sage and Toppmöller | OneFootball

Ismaëlo Ganiou is staying at RC Lens after a hectic few weeks, with a two-year extension announced to supporters. According to L'Équipe, AC Milan made a push that included a call from Ruben Amorim, plus recent talks with Pierre Sage and exchanges with Toppmöller.

At 15:45 on Saturday, Ganiou walked onto the Bollaert pitch ahead of the friendly against Sunderland. Home supporters expected a routine pre-season build-up.

Instead, the hierarchy rolled out one of their favoured surprise moments, revealing a new deal for one of their favourites, an announcement many had barely dared hope for.

Before choosing to extend, Ganiou navigated a spell of intense interest and conversations. The sequence was anything but ordinary.

He now continues with RC Lens, a decision greeted by a satisfied home crowd before kick-off.
