The recent arrival of a leading central defender has not slowed down Olympique de Marseille, who are attacking RC Lens for Kevin Danso.
RC Lens has decided to close the floodgates regarding departures during this transfer market, as it has lost Brice Samba and will see Abdukodir Khusanov join Manchester City in the coming days. Will Still warned that there should be no more departures in his rearguard, otherwise he would experience a very complicated second part of the season. But his players still need to be on the same wavelength, while the Lensois project is increasingly vague and sales are necessary to balance the books. Leaving last summer before failing his medical examination at AS Roma, Kevin Danso has since returned to the field. He remains a solid Ligue 1 defender, to the point of having caught the eye of Roberto De Zerbi.
OM are eager to strengthen their defense
According to TF1, the OM coach nudged his president by showing him the Austrian central defender, asking that he be recruited this winter if the possibility existed. “ Lens wants to keep Kevin Danso, but OM is one of the clubs that appreciate the defender’s profile. Marseille will recruit in defense if departure in this sector », Delivered Saber Desfarges, which obviously refers to the desired departure of Lilian Brassier, but also that of Bamo Meité. Marseille will therefore try their luck, while De Zerbi has made it clear that he still intends to have reinforcements in defense, in the center and on the sides, despite the signing of Luiz Felipe last week. There is no doubt that RC Lens will oppose this transfer in principle, even if we will have to see what happens at the end of January, knowing that the current form of OM can make the defender salivate 26-year-old Austrian, for whom Lens has just refused an offer of 20 million euros from Fenerbahçe. The estimated price is therefore likely to be very high, even that has not scared Pablo Longoria in recent months.
