Not selected by the Racing Club de Lens, Kevin Danso had the opportunity to go to England. Wolverhampton had made the central defender their priority this winter. But the Austrian international ultimately refused the offer from Wolves who fell back on another Ligue 1 talent.
Under pressure from its owner Joseph Oughourlian, the Racing Club de Lens must record sales this winter. Coach Will Still can expect to lose executives by the end of this transfer window. But for the moment, the Belgian is taking advantage of twists and turns to keep his men strong. While goalkeeper Brice Samba seemed to be heading to Rennes, the Artesian club finally canceled his transfer, even if it meant giving up on the 15 million euros promised by the Rouge et Noir. And this is not the only recipe that has disappeared from Lens.
Already close to a departure for Roma last summer, until the problem identified during his medical examination, Kevin Danso is still not retained by his managers. Wolverhampton thought they would take advantage of this to attract him. According to information from Foot Marketthe 26-year-old central defender was even Wolves’ priority. But the Austrian international ended up refusing the proposal from the Premier League team. Would Kevin Danso have received other, more interesting offers?
Agbadou takes advantage of Danso's refusal
In any case, Wolverhampton wasted no time. Failed by Lensois, the English team immediately fell back on Emmanuel Agbadou. The Stade de Reims central defender is expected to cross the Channel in a transfer estimated at 20 million euros. A great deal for the Reims club, but also for the Ivorian international who will go from a salary of 75,000 per month to 60,000 euros… per week! The native of Abidjan can therefore thank Kevin Danso for this great gift from the start of the year.
