At least 5 million for Verbruggen

TRANSFERS Goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen (19) will definitely leave Anderlecht according to La Dernière Heure and will go to Burnley. The transfer would have gained momentum and Kompany's club would offer 5 million euro plus bonuses.



Anderlecht could do well financially as Verbruggen was taken over from NAC Breda for 300,000 euros. After Cullen, Kompany will get another player at Anderlecht, but on the other hand, he will also ensure that the club receives extra funds. Eventually, Burnley can buy any Anderlecht player they want.

Verbruggen's departure will probably force Anderlecht to look for a goalkeeper for the U23 team. Unless they opt for Rik Vercauteren or Timon Vanhoutte. And what will happen with the position of backup goalie? Will Coosemans or Wellenreuther, who was on loan last year, fill that vacancy? We noticed two seasons ago how important a good backup goalkeeper can be when Van Crombrugge was injured for a long time and his absence cost the club points.
