The training sessions will start again next Saturday at RSC Anderlecht. But coach Brian Riemer’s selection is far from complete. For the time being, we have to wait for the first acquisitions of the mercato and there will undoubtedly be some things happening on the outgoing side as well.
Anderlecht wants to make a successful return to the European stage next season. And this requires a selection that is sufficiently armed in terms of breadth. Extra reinforcement is therefore not an unnecessary luxury. In addition, it is not easy to keep the current selection intact as much as possible.
Certain players, such as Thomas Delaney, Ludwig Augustinsson and Federico Gattoni, were hired last season. And for the time being no agreement has been reached on a possible longer stay. Other boys are preparing for a new step in their career. Zeno Debast, for example, seems to be on his way to Sporting CP.
Schmeichel to exit
Finally, no definitive answer has yet been given regarding Kasper Schmeichel and Jan Vertonghen. The second has not yet made a decision about continuing his career as a professional footballer. Clarity about this is only expected after the Red Devils’ European Championship.
Schmeichel, in turn, has an expiring contract. If RSCA wishes to extend that agreement, this may be accompanied by a real wage increase. And that doesn’t seem to be the case for the time being. A departure for the Danish international is therefore said to be in the works.
English dream
The goalkeeper even gave no definitive answer for the time being. But he did drop a hint against the Danish Bold. Schmeichel honestly admitted that he dreams of a return to the Premier League. “I love playing in England. That’s the kind of football I grew up with, that I always watch and enjoy being a part of. I miss playing there. I may return again,” he said. ex-Leicester City champion maker.
