"It will be very difficult to keep Zirkzee and Kouamé"

INTERVIEWS Peter Verbeke is already working hard on next season. On Sunday, there was some time to enjoy the qualification for the Champions' Play Offs, but now he has to work on a striker for next season again, as both Christian Kouamé and Joshua Zirkzee are here on loan.


It will be very difficult to keep both," CEO Peter Verbeke is honest in podcast De Tribune, "Whether or not to reach European football will become very important in those two files."

Kouamé and Zirkzee
Especially for the financial aspect, we think, because RSC Anderlecht still does not have the financial means to make top transfers.

"Our scouts are busy looking for affordable strikers. Yes, there are also players to rent again. But in the meantime, we are not giving up hope on Zirkzee and Kouamé either. Their contract at their current club is also an important aspect of this. Zirkzee still has one year left on his Bayern contract and there may be opportunities there, but a lot will also depend on him how he sees his future. Kouamé's contract at Fiorentina runs for a few more years and they want to cash in on him."

Verschaeren and Gomez
Yari Verschaeren and Sergio Gomez are our own players, but they may receive lucrative offers and perhaps leave, and whether or not they play European football will also play an important role.

"Then perhaps they will be more inclined to stay if we can offer them European football. That will also free up a bit more budget, but we haven't counted on that yet, we're not counting on financial resources that we might not have. We are now taking into account our current policy plan and that includes tight budgeting."
