Marshall Munetsi, the Zimbabwean midfielder, is reportedly wanted by his former coach Will Still at French Ligue 1 side Lens. Still, who coached Munetsi at Stade de Reims for two seasons, has identified him as a key signing for his new team. However, Reims is reluctant to let Munetsi go, especially to a Ligue 1 rival, and has no intention of facilitating his departure.

Munetsi was a crucial player for Reims under Still’s guidance, showcasing his versatility by playing in all midfield positions. His contract with Reims runs until 2027, making it a challenging task for Lens to secure his services. Still is keen on reuniting with Munetsi, who he sees as an ideal replacement for Neil El Aynaoui, expected to join Monaco.

As the transfer window unfolds, it will be interesting to see if Lens can persuade Reims to let go of their prized midfielder. Munetsi’s potential move to Lens would undoubtedly be a significant coup for Still, but it remains to be seen if Reims will budge on their stance.
