Antwerp Football Club is preparing for a very busy autumn. The double winner wants to confirm his status in his country and also hopes to make a good impression in the Champions League. Sporting coach Marc Overmars continues to look for interesting transfer opportunities.
After the unexpected successes at the end of last season, Antwerp turned to sporting director Marc Overmars to offer his compatriot Mark van Bommel a strong squad again. And so the Dutchman got to work. George Ilinykhina, Jacob Ondrejka Chidera Ejok, Soumila Koulibaly and Signe Lamins came to reinforce the national champions.
In addition, collaborations with Gerano Kirk and Mandela Keita continued. And on Tuesday, the old grand one put on his show again. To combat the anemia in defence, Owen Fendall was restricted. The Dutch left-back is on rent from Ajax for a year.
Old acquaintance Overmars
However, Antwerp are not yet ready in the transfer market. For example, Overmars wants to do stunting again just before the deadline with the arrival of an old acquaintance. So reports number The Belgian champion is one of the teams that wants to throw a lifebuoy to Donny van de Beek.
The 26-year-old midfielder made a huge impression at Ajax at the time, and those performances eventually earned him a huge move to Manchester United. But his great achievement did not come at Old Trafford. Last season he was loaned out to Everton with varying degrees of success.
No European football
However, this collaboration did not last, so Van de Beek is currently back at United, where he is again not playing a leading role in the plans. So there is a real chance that the Dutchman will leave. However, the transfer market is only open in a limited number of countries.
Naturally, this fact will benefit Antwerp, which will face competition from Galatasaray. So we’ll have to wait and see if Overmars can confirm a new trick. the number It does not currently report on the specificity of the alleged interest.
In any case, it is certain that Van de Beek will not be playing European football in the coming months. After all, player lists had to be received by Monday. Furthermore, he was overlooked in United’s European player list.
