Football Talk. Anderlecht speaks with Argentinian – Acquisitions for Essevee and KVO – Calhanoglu from AC Milan to city rival Inter | Football

Zulte Waregem has strengthened itself with Lasse Vigen (26). The Danish midfielder comes over from Brøndby and signs a two-year contract (plus one-year option) at the Gaverbeek.

The right-footed midfielder, who made his debut with FC Fulham at the age of 19, played champion last season with the Danish Brøndby IF, where he accounted for 4 goals and 2 assists in 27 games. “I now mainly want to focus on the preparation and, as much as possible, familiarize myself with the team,” says the Dane on the club website. “After that, it’s time to help the team win as much as possible.”

“The talks with Lasse started four months ago. Because of the great interest in him, this was not an easy file”, says Eddy Cordier. “Lasse is someone who knows what he wants and is an ideal mix of experience, talent and drive.”

Hakan Calhanoglu (27) did not look far. The Turk, who went down ingloriously with his country in the group stage of the European Championship, has just announced his transfer to Inter. He does not have to move for that, because he comes over from city rival AC Milan. His contract ends there.

“I have an agreement with Inter. Tomorrow I will sign a contract,” Calhanoglu told Turkish TRT Spor. He would sign a contract in Italy for three years. The Turk has been playing for AC Milan since 2017, before that he played for Bayer Leverkusen and Hamburg. Romelu Lukaku thus gets a teammate who knows the goal: in 43 games he scored 9 times and provided 12 assists.

Waasland-Beveren has attracted 25-year-old Austrian Daniel Maderner, the relegant from 1A confirmed on Monday. The attacker comes over from Austrian first division team SCR Altach and will receive number 17 on the Freethiel.

The 1m90 tall center striker was good for six goals and five assists in 34 games last season. Waasland-Beveren becomes his first foreign club. It is not known for how many years he signed.

“We had a clear profile in mind when composing the team,” explains sporting director Roger Stilz. “Daniel is the perfect match for the attacking position. He has a good mentality, always plays in the interest of the team, not just for himself. He can keep up with the ball well and is physically very strong. We are delighted that he chose Beveren.” “I think it’s fantastic to be here,” said the Austrian attacker. “I am very happy to be able to take on this adventure in Beveren. I am convinced that we will achieve our goals and be successful.”

KV Oostende strengthens its defense with 20-year-old Englishman Zech Medley. He comes over from Arsenal and signed a contract until 2025, with a one-year option. The coastal team confirmed this on Monday.

Medley went through the youth ranks of Chelsea before Arsenal snatched him at the age of 16. At the Gunners, his playing opportunities were limited to two substitutions at the end of 2018 in the group stage of the Europa League. Last season he was successively loaned to FC Gillingham (League One) and FC Kilmarnock (Scottish First Division).

“Zech has been on our radar for a long time. He was one of our main targets and I am delighted that we have succeeded in bringing him to Ostend”, says KVO’s Executive Director Gauthier Ganaye. “With his 1.95 m, his speed, forward defense and quality on the ball, he fits perfectly into our game system. I look forward to seeing Zech make progress within our squad.”

“I am pleased that the deal with KVO has been settled,” said Medley. “The Belgian league has evolved enormously in recent seasons and it is a stepping stone to the bigger leagues. Just look at Jack Hendry relaunching his career here. I sign a contract for four seasons here, which is a clear sign of confidence from the KVO board. I’m looking forward to getting to know my teammates and playing my first game as soon as possible.”

After Nicolas Penneteau, Rémy Descamps is now also about to leave Sporting Charleroi. The 24-year-old goalkeeper, who joined the team from the end of January at the expense of Penneteau, will finalize his move to FC Nantes at the beginning of this week. That’s what Sudpresse’s colleagues report.

Charleroi is expected to transfer not one but two goalkeepers this summer, as it is unlikely that Parfait Mandanda (31) and Joachim Imbrechts (19) will take the vacant places. Mandanda’s contract runs until 2022, but his last season as title holder with the Carolos dates from 2013-2014 and he was loaned out to Dinamo Bucharest and the American Hartford Athletic over the past three years. Youth product Imbrechts has been part of the A-team since January 2019, but has not played for a minute. (AR)

Standard has presented its new jerseys for the 2021-2022 season. As usual, the Rouches opt for red as their home shirt and white with red accents in the away kit. This season, Standard is celebrating its 100th consecutive season in first division — a unique event in Belgium. To highlight that achievement, both shirts bear ‘D-100’ below the logo. The new jerseys are already for sale online, from 1 July they will also be available in the fanshop.

If Albert Sambi Lokonga leaves — and it seems that way, he is personally settled with Arsenal — then Anderlecht will have to find a replacement. One of the options is Fausto Vera, a 21-year-old Argentine from Argentinos Juniors. The player himself confirmed the negotiations in local media. “It’s true: my broker speaks to Anderlecht,” said Vera, who was also on the wish list at Club Brugge a year ago. Njegos Petrovic (21) of Red Star is also on RSCA’s radar.

AA Gent left for Horst in the Netherlands on Sunday, where the club will be on stage all week. On Thursday there is a practice match against Seraing, on Saturday the Buffalos will round off their internship with a match against Feyenoord, at a secret location and behind closed doors. There is no place in the Ghent selection for Dino Arslanagic, Jordan Botaka and Dylan Mbayo, who were referred to the B-team. For them, the exit beckons. (RN)

Brazilian footballer Paulinho leaves the Chinese club Guangzhou FC, formerly known as Guangzhou Evergrande. The former FC Barcelona player still had a current two-year contract, but due to the corona pandemic and associated travel restrictions, the club and Paulinho have decided to part ways. The 32-year-old Brazilian was unable to play for the Chinese this season because he was unable to travel to the country. Earlier, his compatriot Anderson Talisca left China for the same reason. He signed with the Al Nassr club in Saudi Arabia last month.

Paulinho played two periods for Guangzhou. In 2015, he played football under the guidance of Brazilian coach Luiz Felipe Scolari and won the Asian Champions League with the club. He then moved to Barcelona for one season, but returned to Guangzhou in 2018. He won a total of three titles and one cup with the club.

Rayo Vallecano has secured promotion to La Liga after a 0-2 win on Sunday at the field of Girona in the return leg of the promotion final in Spain. Girona had won the first game at the club from a Madrid suburb with 1-2.

Thanks to a win in the final round, it returns to the highest level together with Espanyol Barcelona, ​​the club of Landry Dimata, and Mallorca. The club was relegated two years ago. Huesca, Valladolid and Eibar will drop to the Segunda Division after this season.

Peru has booked a great 2-1 win against Colombia in group B of the Copa America. The Peruvians made it in Goiânia thanks to a goal from Sergio Pena (17′) and an own goal from Yerry Mina (64′). The goal by Miguel Borja (53 ‘) was not enough for Colombia for a point. Genk defenders Daniel Munoz, Carlos Cuesta and Jhon Lucumi did not play for Colombia.

Colombia is second in the group standings with 4 points after 3 matches. Brazil remains the leader with 6 out of 6. Peru follows after its first victory in third with 3 out of 6.
