Kim Min-jae left for Bayern Munich against 50 million euros, Napoli intends to strengthen accordingly for next season. The Italian club which will need a reinforcement in this position where it still lacks a player to play alongside Amir Rrahmani. Targeting the Japanese Ko Itakura from Borussia Mönchengladbach, the Neapolitans especially had a Ligue 1 player in mind, namely Kevin Danso (24).
The Austrian international defender (13 caps) has been a benchmark for RC Lens for two seasons and he took on an even greater dimension during the last exercise. Solid in the duels, reassuring defensively and diligent in the revival, he quickly appeared in the small papers of the Neapolitan club. However, this was not to the taste of RC Lens. We have also informed you of negotiations between the Artesians and the player for an extension and this was on the right track.
Napoli are back on the attack
Under contract until June 2026 with Racing Club de Lens, Kevin Danso feels good there and would have the opportunity to discover the Champions League with the Northerners. However, moving to Naples is also a great opportunity and the local Italian media Il Mattino revealed that the Partenopei have reached an agreement with the player’s agents. Seduced by this approach, especially since coach Rudi Garcia makes it his priority, Kevin Danso would see himself evolving in Naples.
However, the player does not want to force his departure as we can tell you and if he has given the green light for a departure to Napoli, this file is far from complete. Indeed, Naples will have to come to an agreement with Lens, which does not intend to lose another strong element after the departures of Loïs Openda (€43m excluding bonus, RB Leipzig) and Seko Fofana (€25m excluding bonus, Al-Nassr. The Italian media also explained that it would be necessary to offer more than 30 million euros to hope to convince Lens.
