Ghent Made an Offer for Van der Heyden
The Buffalos are anticipating the departure of a key player, Japanese defender Tsuyoshi Watanabe, who is set to join Feyenoord for a reported 9 million euros.In response to this impending loss, Ghent has identified Siebe Van der Heyden as a potential successor. According to Spanish media outlet marca,Ghent has submitted an offer of 2 million euros for the Mallorca defender,but this bid was promptly rejected.
He Wants to Leave Mallorca
Siebe Van der Heyden, a former player for Union SG, is reportedly hopeful that Ghent will increase their offer. He is keen to leave his current Spanish club this summer. It is worth noting that Van der Heyden was close to a return to Belgium in January, but a transfer to Anderlecht did not materialize at that time. In the past six months, he has been on loan at St. Pauli, where he made 13 appearances in the Bundesliga. He is now actively seeking a new challenge.
