TRANSFERS Due to the injury of Hannes Delcroix, Anderlecht has decided to attract an extra defender. It had been clear for several days that it would be 27-year-old Argentinian Lisandro Magallán of Ajax. He is rented for a year.


In 2018, Magallán won the Argentinian championship with Boca Juniors and played the final of the Copa Libertadores. In January 2019, he moved to Ajax, where however he was loaned to Alaves in the 2019-2020 season. Last season he was loaned out to FC Crotone in the Serie A. Magallán played in the preparation and he always belonged to the match squad of Ajax.

Ajax's official website reports that an option to buy has been included in the agreement that runs until June 30, 2022.

"Due to the retirement of Hannes Delcroix, we temporarily lose a young, but also experienced player in the center back," said Peter Verbeke. Verbeke confirms his confidence in young players such as Harwood-Bellis and Debast, but he also emphasizes the long season in which experience can play an important role.
