Sky Sport Italia reports that RC Lens has agreed to pay €2.5 million plus €1.5 million in add-ons to Juventus for the loan of defender Kevin Danso. The centre-back was singled out after Pierre Kalulu pulled up during yesterday night's 2-0 Champions League loss to Benfica, likely causing him to miss at least three weeks of activity. Manuel Locatelli had to fill in in the back four yesterday, so they needed to find some substitutes for Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal, who were already out for the remainder of the season due to anterior cruciate ligament knee surgery.

Juventus had been considering Danso for a while, but Sportitalia pointed out that the team was only interested in a loan with a buyout clause at the end of the current campaign. Today, that changed because the player has accepted the offers and would pick Juventus, even if Rennes and Wolverhampton Wanderers were interested.
