The stadium file at De Bosuil? That continues to drag on. And as a result, The Great Old also misses out on a lot of money. According to insiders, it could create up to 25 million euros more per year with a completely finished stadium. CEO Sven Jaecques has already made this clear.
In addition to the cash flow problems that strong man Paul Gheysens is facing, there are still a number of hot issues at number 1. Although they all have to do directly or indirectly with money, of course.
The transfer summer? That depends on budgets. And how much budget Marc Overmars gets to work with may also be important for his own position. And possibly even that of coach Mark van Bommel – his future is also still uncertain.
But the stadium file also hangs over the club like a sword of Damocles. Gheysens does not want to continue building on land that is not his, land owner Tania Mintjens does not want to sell. And so there is according to The last news a clear impasse.
No communication between Mintjens and Antwerp
It has been suggested here and there in recent months that there would be a rapprochement between Mintjens and Gheysens, but according to the newspaper, nothing has happened (so far). Since the autumn of 2023, there has not even been any official communication between Antwerp and Mintjens, HLN knows.
It will therefore become clear in the coming weeks and months whether and how the matter can be settled. Next season it seems impossible that Antwerp will be able to play in a completely sold-out stadium.
