Sporting intends to loan out the Bosnian goalkeeper Vladan Kovacevic, who was signed in the summer for €5 million. With Rui Silva arriving at Alvalade, Kovacevic is open to leaving. One of the possibilities for Kovacevic is Lens, France, especially after Lens canceled the signing of Pau López.

There is a possibility that RC Lens might re-enter discussions to sign Vladan Kovačević. The French club had reportedly shown interest in him before their loan acquisition of Pau López, which was eventually canceled. Kovačević, who transferred from Raków Częstochowa to Sporting for nearly five million euros, has not met expectations at Sporting. Consequently, Sporting is exploring new options for their goalkeeper position, including a potential swap deal involving Real Betis' Rui Silva. As a result, Kovačević might be on his way out, and RC Lens could be reconsidering him as a candidate.
