The summer transfer window has been closed for several weeks but behind the scenes, we continue to work. To ensure you don’t miss anything, Footnews provides updates every day.
In Belgium
Last January, Anderlecht obtained the loan with option to buy from Keisuke Goto. Since then, the Japanese striker has played with RSCA Futures. But despite his good statistics (9 goals and an assist in 19 appearances), there is little chance that he will be kept. Indeed, La Derniere-Heure reports that the 19-year-old player was not convincing enough. Unless the situation changes, Goto will return to Jubilo Iwata in January.
The Union has finally found a solution for Loïc Lapoussin. The 28-year-old Malagasy winger will play with the Brussels team’s U23s (D1 amateur) while awaiting a possible departure in January.
Abroad
Announced in the biggest clubs in the world throughout the summer, Victor Osimhen was finally loaned to Galatasaray at the beginning of September. He was loaned to the Turkish club until the end of the season (without purchase option). But according to Tuttosport, the former Charleroi scorer could quickly make his return to Italy. Indeed, Thiago Motta would like to attract the Nigerian striker to Juventus. But for such a transaction to take place, Naples will have to considerably reduce its expectations (the club wants 120M, editor’s note).
In the meantime, the Old Lady has extended Samuel Mbangula’s contract until June 2028. A great reward for the 21-year-old Belgian winger (1 goal and 2 assists in 4 appearances).
German journalist Christian Falk reports that Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Manchester City are interested in signing Florian Wirtz next summer. Bayer Leverkusen is ready to sell its prodigy but will not let him leave for less than 150 million euros.
