Imperious in RC Lens colors this season, Malang Sarr is setting the charts alight and catching the eye of international scouts.
At 27, the left-footed center back has rediscovered his best form in Ligue 1, to the point of reawakening the interest of the French Football Federation (FFF).
With Didier Deschamps looking to double up on his defensive positions, the Lens player appears to be a serious option for the upcoming Bleus gatherings.
However, the situation is far from simple for the former Nice player, who also has Senegalese nationality. Until now a French youth international, Sarr has never hidden his attachment to his parents’ country.
Faced with the player’s rise to prominence, the Lions of Teranga coach, Pape Thiaw, could call him up to secure this valuable reinforcement ahead of the upcoming continental competitions.
The defender now finds himself facing a real career dilemma. Should he try to earn a place in France’s highly competitive back line or become a pillar of the Senegalese project?
