It’s a case full of twists and turns. While he landed in Rome on Thursday evening to undergo his medical and thus officially sign with AS Roma after long summer negotiations, the transfer will ultimately not happen. The Austrian will return to RC Lens. Indeed, if the first medical examination carried out with the Roman club did not detect any problems, it was the second mandatory medical examination in Italy to comply with the protocol of the Italian health authorities that found some physical problems, making the transfer impossible. Back in France, Kevin Danso reacted to his complicated situation:
“I am disappointed and angry about the way the last few days have gone and the failure of the transfer to AS Roma. Above all, I am very surprised by the alleged reason for the cancellation of the transfer. Both the ÖFB doctors and the RC Lens medical department have followed me closely and examined me regularly in recent years. I was recently thoroughly checked during the preparation for the start of the season in Lens. No abnormalities have ever been discovered here. That is why the interpretations of the medical check in Rome are extremely irritating for those around me and for me and are in no way understandable. I will now discuss my situation with those responsible at Lens and the ÖFB and prepare myself for the tasks that await me.” said the Austrian international. In any case, the Giallorossi accelerated on Loïc Badé, Manu Koné and Tiago Djalo.
