Antwerp sees their promising left‑back head definitively to Inter Miami, where he'll train alongside Lionel Messi. The young full‑back, who recently trained with the national team before the World Cup, embarks on a new MLS adventure.

How has the transfer progressed so far?

The player's representative disclosed a verbal agreement with Inter Miami months ago. Although there was a brief swing back toward Antwerp, the American side remained the preferred destination. The deal is now being finalized, meaning the Great Old will lose the player for good.

What does this loss mean for Antwerp?

Antwerp had high hopes for the left‑back, who already featured for the Young Reds last season. His exit creates a gap on the left flank, especially after the club's recent 2‑0 victory over KVC Westerlo on 2026‑05‑23. With a recent form of 2W-2D-1L over the last five games, including a two‑match winning streak, the team now lacks a creative spark.

Who will replace him?

Antwerp's coaching staff must now hunt for a replacement. Options include promoting youth academy prospects or making a targeted winter signing. It remains uncertain whether the club can secure a direct replacement before the summer window closes.

What lies ahead for the player?

In Miami he will train daily with Lionel Messi, a unique environment that could accelerate his growth. The MLS side has already attracted several European talents and expects the left‑back to adapt quickly to the American style of play.

The transfer signals that Antwerp struggles to retain its talents against the lure of big names and foreign leagues. Fans will watch closely in the coming weeks to see how the club reacts to this departure.
