LOSC complete Dante deal

Lille OSC

Three-year contract
The 20-year-old Dante, who arrived on loan from EC Juventude in January, has signed a three-year contract with the club ranked tenth in Ligue 1. LOSC are also keen to complete the permanent signing of Slovenian international Milenko Acimovic who also joined during the winter on a six-month loan.

N'Kufo strikes deal
Swiss striker Blaise N'Kufo, meanwhile, has earned a three-year contract with Dutch side FC Twente after impressing since his loan move from Hannover 96 last summer. "We are very satisfied with him," Twente's technical director, Johan Plageman, said. "Blaise has been a terrific player for us and I hope he will score a lot more goals in the years to come." N'Kufo has struck 12 times in 24 matches this season.

Rostock sign Madsen
FC Hansa Rostock have agreed a three-year contract with defender Kim Madsen, who has impressed since joining on loan from VfL Wolfsburg during the winter break. The 26-year-old is Rostock's third signing for next season after goalkeeper Axel Keller from second division Eintracht Trier and midfield player David Rasmussen from FC Nordsjælland.

Lottner leaving
Staying in Germany, 1. FC Köln captain Dirk Lottner will leave the club in the summer after agreeing to join second division MSV Duisburg on a two year-contract. The 32-year-old, whose contract with Köln expires at the end of the season, has been out of favour since the arrival of coach Marcel Koller and turned down the offer of a one-year-extension because it would have required him to take a wage cut.
