Schmeichel hints at the departure of Anderlecht

Training sessions will start again next Saturday at RSC Anderlecht. But the selection of coach Brian Reimer is far from complete. For now, we have to wait for the first mercato acquisitions and there will undoubtedly be some things happening on the outgoing side as well.

Anderlecht wants to achieve a successful return to the European arena next season. This requires a sufficiently armed selection in terms of breadth. Therefore additional reinforcement is not an unnecessary luxury. In addition, it is not easy to keep the current selection as intact as possible.

Certain players, such as Thomas Delaney, Ludwig Augustinsson and Federico Gattoni, were signed last season. At present, no agreement has been reached on the possibility of staying for a longer period. The other boys are preparing for a new step in their careers. Zino Debast, for example, appears to be on his way to Sporting Lisbon.

Schmeichel out

Finally, no definitive answer has been given yet regarding Kasper Schmeichel and Jan Vertonghen. The second has not yet made a decision about continuing his career as a professional footballer. This is not expected to become clear until after the Red Devils’ European Championship.

Schmeichel, in turn, has an expiring contract. If the RSCA wished to extend this agreement, it could be accompanied by a real pay rise. This does not appear to be the case at the moment. Therefore, it is said that the departure of the Danish international is being prepared.

English dream

Even the goalkeeper has not given a specific answer at the moment. But compared to Danish wide He dropped a hint. Schmeichel frankly admitted that he dreams of returning to the English Premier League. The former Leicester City champion said: “I love playing in England. This is the kind of football I grew up with, which I always watch and enjoy being a part of. I miss playing there. Maybe I will come back again.”
