Norman Bassett had a strong season on loan at KV Mechelen. He returns to Caen, but the people of Mechelen want to keep him. However, another competitor emerged.
Kane is in financial difficulty
KV Mechelen had the option to keep Norman Bassett, but then had to pay €5 million. It is a sum that KV Mechelen did not want and could not pay the 19-year-old striker.
However, according to French media, Caen has faced financial problems and they want to sell the Belgian striker. KV Mechelen is interested, but there is still competition.
Big match in the transfer market
KV Mechelen are certainly still interested in signing the young striker permanently. Although all conditions must be true. However, they are not the only ones interested in it.
Club Brugge were also interested in Bassett last summer. This is to allow him to grow in Club NXT and eventually move up to the top team. Club Brugge wants additional attacking reinforcements following Thiago’s departure and once again sees something in Bassett.
Long term contract and high price
Bassett played 15 matches in the Jupiler Pro League this season, scoring three goals. He is currently linked to a contract with French club Caen until mid-2026.
Kane would like to sell the striker to gain more financial space, but €5m will not be on the table. according to Transfermarkt.com It is currently worth €800,000.
