Napoli agree personal terms with Lens’ Kevin Danso

Napoli are exploring the market for potential Kim Min-Jae replacements and have an agreement on personal terms with Lens’ Kevin Danso already.

Daniele Longo has reported today that the Partenopei have about five defenders on their shortlist but Rudi Garcia’s current favourite option is Danso. The club held contacts through intermediaries in recent days and this has led to an agreement over personal terms between the two parties.

But there is yet to be an agreement over a fee with Lens, who want more than €30 million for the defender. The Plan B happens to be Wolves defender Max Kilman but the English side have not opened up to the possibility of an exit for the player. 

Other names on the Partenopei shortlist are Konstantinos Mavropanos, Wolfsburg’s Maxence Lacroix and Dinamo Zagreb’s Bosko Sutalo. When it comes to the Greek defender, Juventus and Torino are also keeping tabs on his situation but it remains to be seen if Napoli move concretely for him.
