Van Crombrugge costs (over) two million euros

TRANSFERS As usual, the parties involved did not disclose a transfer fee during the transfer of Hendrik Van Crombrugge, but the newspapers nevertheless came up with figures. Anderlecht did not put the 3 million euros that Eupen initially asked for.


Het Laatste Nieuws talks about a transfer fee of more than 2 million euros. Het Nieuwsblad is a little more precise. According to this newspaper, Anderlecht put 2.25 million euros on the table and the agreement also contains a bonus of 250,000 euros. Anderlecht and Eupen agreed according to Het Nieuwsblad to pay the transfer fee in installments. The Purple & White, for example, needs the money this summer to attract the much needed deep striker.

No to Montpellier and PSV

Van Crombrugge became convinced of the Kompany project after a conversation with the player manager and with Michael Verschueren. The goalkeeper also had a conversation with Montpellier in his agenda, but he immediately canceled that. It had to and would be Anderlecht. PSV, which thought of Van Crombrugge as the successor to Jeroen Zoet, also received a no.

On Sunday against Mouscron, Van Crombrugge is normally in goal for the first time. Today he was training for the first time.
