Villarreal are interested in Lens centre-back Kevin Danso, who has been transfer listed by the French club to generate funds. Danso is ready for a new challenge and came close to joining Roma this past summer. Lens sporting director Diego Lopez has been instructed to balance the books with sales due to the club's financial situation.

Villarreal is targeting Kevin Danso, a 26-year-old Austrian central defender from Lens, in the upcoming summer transfer window. They view him as a priority to enhance their defense with international experience for European competitions. Danso's market value is around 25 million euros, but Villarreal hopes to negotiate a lower fee. The transfer is seen as a significant opportunity for both Danso and Villarreal.
