The year 2024 was the year of explosion for Matte Smets. What if 2025 was the year of a big transfer?
Things moved very quickly for Matt Smets (21 years old) in 2024. Thorsten Fink’s pillar at Sint-Truiden during the first half of the year, the defender followed his coach to KRC Genk, and immediately became a sure value there as well.
A starter with the Jupiler Pro League leader, Smets naturally caught the eye of the national coach and became the Red Devil last November, playing 45 minutes against Israel. A complicated start, since an error from Genko cost a goal, but we will see Matte Smets in the selection again in the future.
And 2025 could also be the year when Matte Smets takes things to another level, according to information from the Italian press. Transfer marketmedia specializing in the transfer market and the relaying of rumors, affirms that Inter Milan would be very interested in the young Limburger.
Inter have even already made contact with Smets’ entourage. It is difficult to assess the credibility of this information, because such a transfer would seem particularly hasty for a boy who was still in Sint-Truiden 6 months ago.
Matte Smets is currently valued at €10 million, having transferred for just €2.25 million last summer from Stayen. KRC Genk could therefore achieve considerable added value.
