Danso
With his request for a change, ÖFB legionnaire Kevin Danso caused a lot of dust at FC Augsburg. Now managing director Stefan Reuter spoke clearly.
On Thursday there was a scandal in the training camp of the German Bundesliga club in Walchsee. Danso had told the club bosses that he wanted to leave the club. The request had again been rejected by the club. That is why the defender said “he could no longer play and train for the FCA”, Reuter confirmed to the “Augsburger Allgemeine”.
It was clear that Danso had no future with the German Bundesliga club. He was thrown out of the training camp. “Thereupon we said that staying in the training camp no longer made sense and we organized a driver to Augsburg,” continued the managing director.
Danso had been loaned out to Southampton and Fortuna Düsseldorf for the past two seasons. Augsburg had rejected a loan offer from Greuther Fürth on the grounds that they did not want to hand over a player to a league competitor. Now the French first division club RC Lens had submitted a transfer offer that Danso also wanted to accept. The 22-year-old is actually under contract with Augsburg until 2024.
In any case, Reuter is disappointed with the behavior of the Austrian. “He's had great training so far, made a really good impression, and conveyed joy. So it came as a surprise to us and is a shame,” said Augsburg boss Reuter.
But it is now clear to Reuter that the ÖFB legionnaire will be handed over. Not at any price, though. “It is not true that the offer is in the mid-million range. It is not at all in line with the market. If a player wants to leave us and there is an offer in line with the market, we will deal with it. the Augsburg managing director continues. “We will wait and under no circumstances sell it under the price. We would have rewarded the development with an adapted contract. But there was no interest in it,” concluded Reuter.
