Hull City are monitoring RC Lens midfielder Amadou Haidara, although the English club have not yet made a formal offer for the Mali international.
Haidara joined RC Lens last winter from RB Leipzig after spending nine years within the Red Bull football network. The 28-year-old midfielder adapted quickly to his new surroundings and remains under contract with the French club until June 2029.
Since moving to Artois, Haidara has made 11 appearances for RC Lens, scoring once and providing one assist. He has also added two trophies to his honours list, with a Coupe de France and a Trophee des Champions.
Haidara has represented Mali 48 times, giving him considerable experience at international and elite club level. Although strong competition in the RC Lens midfield has so far prevented him from establishing himself as a regular starter, his reputation remains high enough to attract interest in the transfer market.
According to Foot Mercato, Hull City are following Haidara’s situation closely and are particularly attracted by his profile. The English club have a recurring interest in French-speaking players who have developed or played in France, but no concrete proposal has yet been submitted.
That position could change in the coming days. Haidara is currently valued at about €5m by Transfermarkt, a figure that gives an indication of the potential scale of any future deal while he remains tied to RC Lens for another three years.
For now, Haidara’s immediate focus remains with RC Lens as the club prepare to face AJ Auxerre in the opening round of the French championship. The match will also provide another opportunity for the midfielder to compete for a starting place amid the competition for positions in the Lens midfield.
The betting company 1xbet has published odds for the fixture, with AJ Auxerre priced at 5.75 to win, a draw listed at 4.30 and RC Lens favourites at 1.57. The source also promotes the option to download 1xbet.
Haidara’s possible move to Hull City is therefore at an early stage. While the club’s interest has been identified and his market value is known, there is currently no offer on the table. Any progress will depend on whether Hull decide to turn their monitoring of the player into a formal approach in the days ahead.
