Antwerp remains an option for Arbnor Muja as STVV seeks to sign the 27-year-old Kosovar winger permanently from Samsunspor. The player, who won the title with Antwerp in 2023, is high on STVV's wishlist. Muja spent last season on loan at STVV and showcased his skills as a right winger.
What is the current situation?
Samsunspor, where Muja is currently under contract, is willing to let the player leave. The Turkish club has an abundance of foreign players and wingers, and Muja is entering his final contract year. STVV wants to sign the Kosovar permanently, but the price tag is steep. Muja had a lucrative salary in recent years, but the club hopes to see him shine again at Stayen.
Why is Muja interesting for Antwerp?
Antwerp, where Muja won the title in 2023, remains an option. The club is looking for reinforcement on the right wing and sees Muja as a suitable candidate. The player has proven to be a valuable addition both offensively and defensively. However, STVV has a slight edge in the negotiations.
What's next for STVV?
In addition to their interest in Muja, STVV has also signed a new goalkeeper. Ahmad Abu Rasen, a 22-year-old goalkeeper from Saudi Arabia, signed a two-year deal. Abu Rasen joins on a free transfer from Al Hilal and will compete with Leo Kokubo. The Japanese goalkeeper, who attracted interest from other clubs, remains at STVV for now. The club plays against Lommel SK this Saturday and will also keep an eye on their next match against Kortrijk (home, 2027-02-13), while they are currently 15th in the league.
