Antwerp receives news of Van den Bosch’s departure

Antwerp must take a new path this season, as the days when Paul Gysens pumped unlimited millions into the club are over. That means players will have to be sold in large numbers this summer, after Arthur Vermeeren was quickly sold to Atletico Madrid in January.

This summer, George Elenikhina (Monaco) and Jürgen Ekkelenkamp (Udinese) have already left in this way, but it certainly won’t stop there. Jean Bottes and Mandela Keita were on the bench for the first two games of the competition, waiting for a move. These days they are mainly linked with Anderlecht and Southampton respectively.

Eindhoven is not concrete for Van den Bosch

Zeno Van Den Bosch also looks like a great transfer candidate. The 21-year-old defender was a regular in the second half of last season, but he is also in the final year of his contract. Antwerp would certainly prefer to cash in this summer rather than see him walk out the door for free in a year’s time.

Van den Bosch has already been mentioned by several Italian clubs, but in recent days there has also been talk of interest from the generally well-established PSV. Eindhoven Dagblad However, they have now stated that they have not received any confirmation that the Dutch champion is actually in favour of his arrival.

Defensive reinforcements are urgently needed.

Although there is no doubt that PSV need defensive reinforcements. Last season, the team was sometimes very weak in defence, and this summer also saw the departures of Andre Ramalho, Xorande Sambu, Armel Bela-Kotchap and Patrick van Aanholt. This was only compensated for by the arrival of Ryan Flamengo.

In addition, PSV are also at risk of losing Jordan Teese and Olivier Boscali in the coming weeks, as they compete with Monaco and Brighton respectively. So several defenders will have to come to PSV and it cannot be ruled out that they will end up with Van den Bosch.
