Lens Stands Firm: Rejects Wolves’ Offer for Defender Kevin Danso

Recent reports indicate that RC Lens has rebuffed an offer from Wolverhampton Wanderers for their 26-year-old center-back, Kevin Danso. The English Premier League club, which had previously attempted to secure Danso’s services earlier this month, reportedly submitted a bid of approximately €22 million, including bonuses.

Despite the substantial offer, Lens remains resolute in their decision to retain Danso for the remainder of the season. This stance comes in the wake of recent significant player departures from the French club, including Abdukodir Khusanov and former captain Brice Samba, who made lucrative moves to Manchester City and Stade Rennais, respectively.

The club’s determination to keep Danso highlights the defender’s importance to the team, especially considering the recent changes in their squad composition. Lens appears unwilling to further weaken their roster during the current transfer window, despite the potential financial benefits of the proposed deal.

As the transfer period progresses, it remains to be seen whether Wolverhampton will return with an improved offer or if Lens will maintain their firm stance on retaining their valuable defender. The situation underscores the challenges clubs face in balancing financial opportunities with maintaining team stability and competitiveness.
