Chances are that Bart Verbruggen (20) won’t be defending Anderlecht’s goals again this season. Burnley, Vincent Kompany’s club, have made an offer of €15 million. Anderlecht refused it and made a counter-proposal. Sporting want €20 million. No doubt the two clubs will find common ground.
Kompany’s interest in the Dutch international is nothing new. Last season, his club already wanted to pay €5 million, but Anderlecht and Verbruggen finally decided to continue their collaboration. Since the arrival of coach Brian Riemer, he received and seized his chance. He was the best Anderlechtois in the second part of the championship, which increased his value.
After the elimination in the Conference League at AZ, Verbruggen had already made it clear that he was ready for a new adventure. Many very big clubs have expressed their interest (Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United) but he would be number 2 there. At Burnley, he intends to become a starter. This season, the Swiss Arijanet Muric has played almost every game.
Verbruggen will participate in the Euro with the Netherlands. Burnley does not want to wait too long, for fear that other clubs will push if they have a terrible Euro. At Burnley, he would not only find Kompany but also his goalkeeping coach Jelle Ten Rouwelaar, who brought him from NAC to Anderlecht.
