Coach Mark van Bommel and his team can slowly start preparing for the final preliminary round of the Champions League. Meanwhile, sporting director Marc Overmars is still busy in the transfer market. Indeed, additional reinforcements are expected and the objective is to retain current key players.
Overmars has already bolstered Van Bommel’s selection with a few acquisitions like George Ilenikhena, Jacob Ondrejka Chidera Ejuke, Senne Lammens, Gyrano Kerk and Mandela Keita. On the other hand, Antwerp saw a few key elements leave. For example, Willian Pacho left for the Bundesliga, while Calvin Stengs did not continue his adventure in Belgium and preferred Feyenoord.
ITS FUTURE IS IN ANTWERP
Difficult to dislodge, the other architects of the championship title have remained on board for the moment, although that might change in the coming weeks. With the exception of Toby Alderweireld. In an interview with Humo, his agent Stijn Francis indicates that the defender does not want to leave the club. He said: “I don’t think you can get Toby out of Antwerp unless it’s for a transfer to Saudi Arabia. But he’s been through that before.”
His agent still sees him playing for at least two more seasons: “At that time he will be 36 and his contract with Antwerp will come to an end. He will be happy that it is over and that all obligations fall off his shoulders. “But he’s also going to regret it. So that’s to be seen. He’s also having fun once more, and he’s still playing at a very high level.”
This Friday Antwerp will travel to OHL for the opening of the 4th day of the Jupiler Pro League.
