Eventful night in Rome: Danso fails medical due to heartbeat irregularities, Roma after Juve's defender

It was a rather eventful night in Rome. Kevin Danso arrived in the Eternal City yesterday to sign for Roma in a €25 million transfer, but he failed the medical exams due to an alleged irregular heartbeat discovered during his cardiovascular screening. Roma immediately reacted by securing the first available option on the market, Tiago Djaló from Juventus, who was sidelined in Turin following the arrival of Thiago Motta.

Sources in Italy indicate that while Danso passed Roma's medical tests, the issue arose due to Italian regulations, which prevent players from competing in Serie A under such circumstances. Lens quickly responded, announcing that the transfer had been halted due to the interpretation of the medical examination, and that the player would undergo a tailored protocol before returning to the club.

This bad news turned into a positive outcome for the Portuguese defender. Tiago Djaló could unexpectedly find a club where he can prove his worth. If he manages to establish himself, Roma will have the opportunity to secure him permanently for a fee of €9 million. Djaló joined Juventus in January this year for €5.1 million but failed to make an impression under Allegri, and Motta quickly placed him on the transfer list.

Roma is disappointed that they couldn't secure their primary target in the market, but they have saved money that could be used to sign Borussia Mönchengladbach's Manu Koné. Additionally, it appears that last night an agreement was reached regarding a swap deal involving Tammy Abraham and Alexis Saelemaekers, which could be announced soon.
