RSC Anderlecht will travel to Portugal next weekend for a summer training camp. But the selection of coach Brian Rimmer is far from complete. For now, we have to wait for the first acquisitions of the transfer window, 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. This requires a selection that is sufficiently armed in terms of breadth. Therefore, further reinforcement is not an unnecessary luxury. In addition, it is not easy to keep the current selection as intact as possible.
Some players, such as Thomas Delaney and Ludwig Augustinsson, were loaned out last season. At the moment, no agreement has been reached on whether they can stay longer. Other boys are preparing for a new step in their careers. Zeno Debast, for example, is on his way to Sporting Lisbon.
Experienced couple
Finally, no definitive answer has been given yet regarding Kasper Schmeichel and Jan Vertonghen. The latter has not yet made a decision about whether to continue his career as a professional footballer. Now that he has been eliminated from the European Championship with the Red Devils, a decision is expected soon.
Schmeichel, in turn, has an expiring contract. If RSCA were to extend this deal, it would likely come with a real pay rise. Despite his good performances in the second half of the season, this does not seem to be the case. So the departure of the Danish international is said to be in the works.
Reunion in Glasgow
Despite his age, the Danish European Championship participant will turn 38 in November and can still count on the necessary interest. Earlier this week, for example, it was announced that Wolves had expressed an interest. Bee Leicester Mercury Celtic is now also reported to be an option. In Glasgow, he could reunite with Brendan Rodgers, who also worked with him at Leicester City. The Scottish champions have not yet made a concrete offer, but that could change quickly. In any case, Anderlecht seems to have lost their strongman forever. So the Brussels people are desperately looking for a new goalkeeper.
