Football clubs across Europe are preparing for the upcoming winter transfer market following the close of the summer window, according to recent reports.
VoetbalNieuws reported that teams are actively mapping out their January recruitment strategies while managerial changes continue across various divisions.
Former Belgium international Kevin Mirallas is plotting a return to football management after a period without a club, as reported by VoetbalNieuws. La Louvière recently parted ways with manager Edward Still, placing Mirallas on the shortlist for the vacancy. Mirallas previously served as an assistant to Sebastien Pocognoli at AS Monaco.
RSC Anderlecht could earn a large sum for 19-year-old forward Mihajlo Cvetkovic, VoetbalNieuws reported. Cvetkovic has drawn strong interest after previously attracting a 10-million-euro offer from Eintracht Frankfurt. Anderlecht officials now expect any future sale to exceed 20 million euros based on his current performances.
KV Mechelen previously pursued Ecuadorian prospect Kendry Paez during the winter transfer window without success, according to VoetbalNieuws. With Paez struggling for playing time at Chelsea, a temporary loan move to Belgium in January remains a possibility. Trabzonspor, Celtic, Birmingham City, and Blackburn Rovers are also tracking the situation.
Club Brugge’s focus on youth development and the Club NXT setup continues to yield dividends, VoetbalNieuws reported. Former Club Brugge player Renzo Tytens, currently with Lyngby, earned a selection for the Belgium under-21 squad. Club Brugge retains a 15 percent sell-on clause as Tytens attracts interest from clubs in England and France.
Premier League side Liverpool is monitoring former Anderlecht goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen as a potential successor to Alisson, according to VoetbalNieuws. Anderlecht stands to profit from any deal due to a sell-on profit percentage negotiated in his previous transfer. Verbruggen currently holds an estimated market valuation of 20 million euros.
