The transfer of Kevin Danso to AS Roma seemed almost perfect, but is now said to have fallen through. According to Italian media reports, the ÖFB team player failed the medical check due to heart problems
The multi-million euro transfer of Kevin Danso from RC Lens to AS Roma has fallen through. The French club confirmed this on its website. According to Italian media reports, the Romans discovered heart problems with the ÖFB team player during the medical check, although this was denied by Lens. It had previously been expected that the defender would be loaned out by the Italian club for one year, after which there would have been a purchase obligation of 22 million euros.
Thanks to possible bonuses, the total package could have risen by three million euros to a total of 25 million euros. AS is now reportedly on the verge of signing Tiago Djalo from Juventus
Lens is annoyed
Lens expressed their anger in a statement and doubted Roma’s version of events. “The long interpretation of a medical examination was the reason for this aborted transfer. The club wonders about the reasons for not confirming this transfer of a carefully monitored player who has played more than 30 games on the French and international stage this season,” the Ligue 1 club wrote.
