While Pierre Locht explained that he hoped for a resumption of Standard for the month of March, nothing has been signed for the moment and the situation therefore remains complicated in Sclessin.
The Rouches must therefore make up with more than limited resources, A-Cap only releasing the funds absolutely necessary to ensure the survival of the club while awaiting the formalization of the resale.
Not good enough for Westerlo
On the sports management side, we must therefore be particularly inventive when recruiting. Many important players arrived on loan, knowing they had an opportunity to prove themselves at a club that needs them.
Among them, there are two that Westerlo would have wanted to offer after selling Lucas Stassin for 10 million euros to Saint-Etienne. A player who was not replaced but who could have been replaced by Dennis Eckert Ayensa or Andi Zeqiri. This was revealed by CEO Hasin Centinkaya to Gazet van Antwerpen.
One out of two successes
“We were not convinced by Ayensa. Zeqiri only wanted to come as a starting player. We had Matija and we were looking for a replacement for him. In these conditions, he did not want to come. Meanwhile, Frigan has gained minutes. He is the biggest investment of this club and we are happy with his progress,” explains Centinkaya.
Not good enough for Westerlo but good for Standard, Ayensa is slow to prove that the Liégeois were right to believe in him. with two goals and an assist, he is far from Zeqiri, who has seven goals and three assists in fourteen games.
For Standard, the good news is that Zeqiri has signed for a loan with an option to buy. If money is released next summer, it is therefore not impossible to see him continue at Sclessin. On the other hand, we may not regret the departure of Ayensa after his passage along the Meuse.
