Anderlecht have just announced the extension of young Theo Leoni’s contract until 2024 with two additional years as an option. Captain of the U21, the 21-year-old midfielder is a pure product of the Mauve et Blancs, which he joined in 2012.
Theo Leoni is a very important player for the club’s project. We are counting on him to become a leader of the prospects in 1B next year, and to knock on the door of the first team. We are delighted to be able to count on him until 2024. “, Peter Verbeke explained in the club’s statement.
If he has not yet received minutes with the first team, Leoni is showing patience : “My parents always told me: “better late than never. They taught me that you have to be patient in life, that you don’t always have what you want, when you want it. Patience is a virtue. I grew up with this idea. ”
