Although the Jupiler Pro League season will not finally end until June 2, many clubs are already busy with their transfer homework for next season. For the Belgian top clubs, this mainly means that the market is scoured for young talents who can be sold on in the future for several millions.
AA Gent and Anderlecht find top talent in Sweden
Scandinavia is a popular market for this and a new top talent has emerged there in recent months. 18-year-old Malick Junior Yalcouyé only joined IFK Göteborg from ASEC Mimosas in February, but the Ivorian midfielder has already attracted the attention of a long list of clubs.
Swedish media previously reported that AA Gent showed interest in the youngster, while CaughtOffside now also adds Anderlecht to the long list of teams that are closely following Yalcouyé’s development. However, it seems that the Belgian clubs are already arriving too late.
Asking price already unattainable
After all, the European top has already found its way to Yalcouyé. Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Brentford, Ajax and AS Monaco are also said to be pulling his sleeve. Although it remains to be seen whether the first three top players will become concrete, it already seems difficult to compete with the last three clubs.
This is also because the transfer price for Yalcouyé is skyrocketing. The player would already have to cost 10 million euros and such a transfer fee does not seem to be a solution for Ghent or Anderlecht. Certainly not because the Buffalos are not yet sure of European football and Anderlecht may miss out on the Champions League.
