Miliano Jonathans, a 20-year-old winger playing for Vitesse Arnhem, is attracting interest from Anderlecht as well as several clubs in the Eredivisie and Jupiler Pro League. Described by The Gelderlander as an “out of category” player with great technical mastery, the young talent will be free from any contract this winter. Due to Vitesse’s difficult financial situation, he could be transferred for a relatively modest fee.
A golden opportunity to strengthen the Mauves et Blancs
Before the Croky Cup match between the Mauves et Blancs and Westerlo, Olivier Renard, sports director of Anderlecht, spoke at the microphone of RTL on his objectives for the next winter transfer window.
Asked about Sporting’s ambitions in January, Renard confirmed that the club will look to strengthen its squad during this transfer period.
“I think everyone knows that there are certain positions in the team where there is a problem in terms of depth,” he said. “On a technical level, a problem can arise if a player is injured or suspended. So we have one or two priorities. »
A defensive priority, but not only
Renard referred to central defense, where reinforcement is needed both qualitatively and quantitatively. However, he also indicated that he would not hesitate to examine other opportunities which might arise.
Jonathans and the departure of Vitesse: a delicate position for the Dutch club
If FC Twente seems to be in pole position, other clubs such as AZ Alkmaar, Utrecht, Heerenveen, Go Ahead Eagles, AA Gent and Anderlecht are closely monitoring the situation of Miliano Jonathans.
The young player’s contract expires at the end of the season, forcing Vitesse to consider a transfer this winter. In the current context, the club, which is fighting for its financial survival, hopes to at least obtain a small compensation for his departure.
This financial crisis places Vitesse in a weak position on the transfer market. Jonathans, who is currently on a weak contract, has already turned down an extension offer, opening the door for a departure.
An extraordinary talent: technique and speed at the service of the attack
The Gelderlander describes Jonathans as “the best and most elegant player at Vitesse Arnhem.” With refined technique, a precise left foot, notable acceleration and a good eye for goal, the young winger is an undeniable offensive asset.
Endowed with great speed of execution, it excels in small spaces, which allows it to get out of complicated situations. His qualities earned him the attention of many recruiters, both in the Eredivisie and in the Jupiler Pro League.
A promising player with an international future
Of Indonesian origin, Jonathans has been followed for several years by the national team of his country of origin. However, he also has a Dutch passport and remains ambitious about a possible selection with the Netherlands, notably for Jong Oranje.
His future seems promised to a high-level club, and the Mauves et Blancs could achieve a nice coup by attracting this young talent to Brussels.
