There are less than 24 hours left for the management of Liège to degrease a plethoric core and try to bring a little more quality to it. So far, despite the defeat against Mechelen, the winter transfer window has been a success. But it won’t be completely until players with big contracts leave.
It is with this in mind that Maxime Lestienne, not resumed on Sunday, would join Singapore, and this, five months from the end of his contract. The player would have already terminated his accommodation in Liège and was no longer present at the club in recent days. The Standard will not receive any severance pay and will save a rather large salary. In the stands on Sunday, Samuel Bastien is no longer in the plans but there is ultimately little chance that he will leave, for lack of concrete interest. Hamza Rafia, eliminated with Tunisia at the Can, could return to Juventus.
Finally, it seems that in recent hours, Saint-Trond has returned to the charge for Joao Klauss, who Mechelen also wants but who cannot come to an agreement with Hoffenheim. The German club is therefore once again in discussion with the Trudonnaires who still wish to secure the services of Ameen Al-Dakhil. Up to the game, Jackson Muleka is still likely to leave but the Standard would ultimately not part with Klauss and Muleka. It would be one or the other. Internally, Muleka has clarified his desire to stay to earn his place.
Pathé Mboup, young striker, passed the tests
On Saturday, Standard approved the departure of Collins Fai for Al-Taï (Saudi Arabia) against 300,000 €. In the event of departure, Standard will try to tie up two arrivals on Monday (in particular to strengthen its left flank).
Sunday evening, a young 18-year-old Senegalese striker from the Sacred Heart Academy in Dakar, Pathé Mboup, was present with his agent and his coach. He could sign this Monday if his physical and medical tests, obviously already carried out, are deemed satisfactory.
