Now ÖFB record man
Offer raised again: Danso transfer imminent
The transfer of ÖFB defender Kevin Danso from RC Lens to AS Roma has been finalized, according to Italian media reports. As the "Gazzetta dello Sport", among others, reported on Tuesday, the 25-year-old will be loaned out by the Italian top club for one year, after which there is a purchase obligation of 22 million euros.
Thanks to possible bonuses, the total package increases by a further three million euros to a total of 25 million euros. This makes Danso the most expensive domestic defender in history.
The previous record holder was Aleksandar Dragovic, who joined Bayer Leverkusen from Dynamo Kiev for a total of €21 million in 2016. On Monday evening, the French club rejected a Roma offer totaling EUR 23.5 million for the 23-time Austrian national team player, but the Italians accepted the EUR 25 million demanded after a further round of negotiations on Tuesday, according to Corriere dello Sport. According to the "Gazzetta", Danso will move to the Italian capital until 2029 - with an annual salary of EUR 1.5 million plus bonuses.
Farewell from fans
On Sunday, after the 2:0 home win in the league against Stade Brest, the ÖFB player had already said goodbye to the Lens fans with a round in the stadium. At the Lens sports center, the central defender was bid farewell with a poster with the inscription "Auf Wiedersehen, Danso!" written in German.
De Rossi's dream player
The defender from Styria, who grew up in Great Britain, is a preferred candidate of Roma coach Daniele De Rossi, who has come under fire after a poor start to the season. On Sunday, the capital club suffered a 2:1 defeat against Empoli.
There have been repeated transfer rumors surrounding Danso in recent months. Europa League winners Atalanta Bergamo are also said to have approached Lens, according to the Gazzetta.
