And if we were talking regarding Jan Vertonghen? Everyone has been talking only regarding Theo Leoni in recent weeks, but the most consistent Mauve is the captain, who is entering his last year of contract…
Jan Vertonghen has already said it several times: “Anderlecht will be my last club”. And at the end of the 2023-2024 season, the captain of RSC Anderlecht will be out of contract. But it is highly doubted that this will mean the end of his career, as Vertonghen has become the pillar around which Sporting’s revival has been built.
Jesper Fredberg has had plenty of other things to do this summer than thinking regarding a contract extension for Jan Vertonghen, which is of course not urgent. The player himself didn’t necessarily think regarding it and wanted above all to have fun, to see what his level would be.

The answer is clear: its level is very high. Not once has Jan Vertonghen averaged less than 7 this season in the newspapers. Every weekend, he responds. “He really impresses me,” recognizes Maxime Dupé. “He plays his match, but also directs the young people, communicates with the referee…”.
The French goalkeeper sums it up perfectly: Vertonghen is a real boss. And thanks to the arrivals of Rits and Delaney, he can finally focus on his defense. We can already see it clearly: if Debast, Sardella and N’diaye are progressing so much, it’s also because “Sterke Jan” doesn’t let anything pass.
If his body holds up, he can still play for years
To top it off, he also plays this role of leader in selection: the man with 148 caps (a record) will be present in the selection of Domenico Tedesco this Friday, and should reach 150 caps once morest Estonia on the 12th. september. No matter what talent comes along, Vertonghen is too good to pass up.
But what regarding following this season? If his body holds, Jan Vertonghen seems capable of still playing for years. Unless he himself wants to stop to take a well-deserved retirement and think regarding the followingmath, he can expect Jesper Fredberg to discuss it sooner or later…
