Quite calm until now, Kevin Danso’s transfer window is starting to accelerate. The 25-year-old central defender from RC Lens, who is currently having a good preparation with the Artois club, had received several interests until now, but his departure was far from a given. Comfortable in the North of France and open to staying if he did not receive an offer that he considered interesting this summer, Kevin Danso was waiting. A key player in the northern defense since the summer of 2021 and his arrival from Augsburg, the Voitsberg native nevertheless sees the situation changing.
Until now, the player who is coming off a solid season with Lens (38 appearances, 1 goal) and a great Euro 2024 with Austria – where his team reached the 1/8th finals – was in the sights of Atalanta and Juventus in Serie A. Kevin Danso had the Premier League in mind. However, the last few hours have changed the situation. As we have revealed to you for several weeks, Kevin Danso is the subject of incessant courtship by Atalanta Bergamo.
Danso agrees with Atalanta, Lens will receive an offer
Initially reluctant to join the Italian club, the solid Austrian international defender of RC Lens is about to succumb to the sporting and financial arguments of the Bergamo club, which has just lost in the European Super Cup final against Real Madrid (2-0), and which will play in the Champions League this season. Juventus, which is looking for a central defender after the failure of the Jean-Clair Todibo track, has not been able to align itself financially with the demands of the Artois club.
According to our information, the number 4 of the Blood and Gold has already reached an agreement with Atalanta and was thus seduced by the speech of Gian Piero Gasperini and the fact of returning to the Champions League for a second consecutive year after the experience he had with Lens last season. A first Italian offer should quickly arrive on the desk of the Lens directors who are demanding, let us recall, more than €25 million to free one of the pillars of their defense.
