La Gantoise Transfer News: Striker Departs – Winter Window Updates

La Ghent continues to sort out its core this winter, another player leaves Ghent and Belgium.

After Vanzeir and Gandelman, another player leaves the Planet Group Arena. The Buffalos complete a new outgoing transfer and part ways with Franck Surdez. The first city was loaned to Cercle, who also negotiated a purchase option.

Omri Gandelman joined Lecce for 3 million euros. And for the Swiss, it was a return to the country that was concluded. The Buffalos can replenish their coffers after reaching a reasonable agreement this Friday.

Return to Switzerland

Winger Franck Surdez leaves the club for a permanent transfer, announces La Gantoise via its official channels. He therefore returned to Switzerland and joined FC Sion, a first division club in his native country.

According to some sources, Ghent would receive 1.3 million euros for this transfer. The Buffalos thus recover their stake.

Initial transfer amount recovered

In January 2024, he was transferred for the same amount from Neuchâtel Xamax, also in Switzerland. But the 23-year-old winger could not live up to expectations in the Jupiler Pro League.

In total, Surdez played 60 matches for the Belgian club, in which he scored four goals and made eight assists. This season he was not regularly selected.
