In the previously ended Ligue 1 promotion and relegation playoffs, Reims lost to Metz 2-4 in two rounds and was relegated to the Ligue 2 League.

French media "footmercato" recently wrote an article about the situation where two Japanese internationals Ito Junya, who played for the team, fought with Kei Nakamura, and revealed that Ito Jun may also choose to transfer. The media wrote:

Junya Ito's contract with Lance will expire next summer, and the team may choose to sell it this summer to avoid leaving the team freely after the player contract expires next summer; however, Lance hopes to keep Keito Nakamura, who is regarded as an important part of the team's return to Ligue 1 as soon as possible.
