RC Lens definitely had a strange evening. On the pitch, the Blood and Gold lost their footing, beaten on the pitch of Panathinaikos (2-0) in the Conference League play-offs, and therefore deprived of Europe this season. Behind the scenes, another event occurred, concerning Kevin Danso.
The Austrian international defender was not in Greece with Will Still’s team since he had travelled to Italy to sign with AS Roma. Except that the Giallorossi, against all expectations, decided to cancel the operation following the medical examination. RC Lens has a hard time understanding.
Lens wants Roma
“In close talks with AS Roma after full agreement tfound with Racing, Kevin Danso will not join the Louve club, indicates the Artois club in a press release. The long interpretation of a medical examination is at the origin of this aborted transfer. The club is wondering about the deep reasons for the non-validation of this movement for a player meticulously followed who chains seasons with more than 30 matches on the French and international grounds. It maintains its absolute confidence in its defensive rock that it will be happy to find again tomorrow and who will be subjected to an adapted protocol before wearing the blood and gold colors again.
The good news is sporting, because Lens will be able to count on Danso this season. The less good news is economic, because Racing’s leaders were hoping for a second big sale this summer, after the departure of Elye Wahi. For Danso, there was talk of a loan with a purchase option estimated at 25 million euros.
