Criticized during his debut in Mechelen but now dubbed by the public, Lion Lauberbach attracts the interest of several clubs. Venezia made a first offer, refused by KaVé, reluctant to let their attacker leave.
Fifth in the championship and second surprise in the top 6 after Sint-Truiden, Mechelen was quick to become active on the transfer market. Even before the transfer window opened, on January 6, KaVé announced the arrival of Mauro Lenaerts, from Lierse.
In terms of departures, the club formalized this Wednesday the loan of Ryan Teague to Melbourne City. In the process, he is an attacker who could leave the Barracks in mid-January.
According to The NewspaperLion Lauberbach arouses the interest of several clubs, but it is above all Venezia which would have taken action by making an offer of 2 million euros, refused by Mechelen.
Mechelen rejects offer for Lion Lauberbach
Criticized then dubbed in Mechelen, the 27-year-old German striker, author of six goals since the start of the season, would have given his agreement to join Serie B and the recently relegated club, currently second and ambitious for a rapid rise in the elite.
Mechelen, however, remains reluctant to see him leave during the season due to the fight for the Champions Play-Offs. According to our colleagues, a slightly larger offer could tip the scales. The English clubs of Preston and Burnley are also interested, but have not yet made an offer. With Lauberbach having 95% playing time in the league, his departure would be a serious setback for Fred Vanderbiest.
