Riemer: "We also listen to what Dupé wants"

INTERVIEWS Maxime Dupé gets to play another game tomorrow against Union. The Frenchman is bored with his role as a substitute. Coach Brian Riemer told this afternoon that Anderlecht won't keep him at n price if he doesn't want to. "We always listen to our players, especially if the situation is different from what they hoped for," Riemer said.


"We had good talks with him," Riemer said when asked about Dupé's situation. "I know he is very happy at Anderlecht for different reasons, but he also wants to play. We talk about that and it's not that he absolutely wants to leave. We'll see what the next few weeks bring, but tomorrow he will just be in goal. Hopefully we win, then there will be games to come."

But should he stay or is Anderlecht open to a departure? "At the moment everything is open. We have a good dialogue with him and with his manager about the situation," Riemer said. "If you ask me if there is a chance he will be gone by the beginning of February, I say yes. But if you ask if he will possibly still be at Anderlecht then, my answer is likewise yes."

"Of course we are talking and listening to him this transfer period, as we do with all players. Especially if the situation is different from what they hoped for. We knew it was not an ideal situation for Max when we got Kasper. At that time nothing more was possible. But now there is no decision yet."
