RC Lens Mercato twist: PSG drops pursuit of Risser
Paris Saint‑Germain was recently listed as a leading suitor for 21‑year‑old goalkeeper Robin Risser, but today the French capital club has vanished from the RC Lens Mercato chase, leaving the young shot‑stopper’s future at the Ligue 1 side in question.
PSG disappears from Risser chase
The name Robin Risser circulated widely on the transfer market in recent weeks, after an impressive debut season in Ligue 1 that put the Lens goalkeeper on Paris Saint‑Germain’s radar. His performances earned him recognition as the league’s best goalkeeper by his peers.
Dans son édition du jour, L’Équipe confirmed that PSG no longer features among the main suitors for the 21‑year‑old keeper. The French daily noted the shift as a notable change for the young goalkeeper.
Nevertheless, Juventus Turin and Aston Villa remain attentive, keeping Risser’s market value high across Europe. The continued attention underscores his standing despite the Parisian club’s withdrawal. Both clubs have reportedly sent scouts to Lens’s training sessions to monitor his progress.

Risser quickly reassured the Lens hierarchy that he is not seeking to force a move and will continue his adventure with the Racing. Jean‑Louis Leca, now sporting director after a long spell between the posts, is monitoring his development closely.
The extension of veteran goalkeeper Régis Gurtner provides Risser with a familiar reference point, while Cédric Berthelin’s continued presence on the coaching staff adds further stability.
Elected best goalkeeper in Ligue 1 by his peers in his first top‑flight season, the 21‑year‑old former Strasbourg prospect now looks ahead to a Champions League debut with Lens. La bonne nouvelle for the Sang et Or is the prospect of European football. His rapid rise highlights the club’s successful development pathway.
