Royal Antwerp’s Arthur Vermeeren has been excluded from the squad for tonight’s match as a precautionary measure following an agreement for his transfer to Atlético Madrid. The deal, reportedly worth €22 million plus additional performance-related bonuses, is on the verge of completion.
Vermeeren is expected to finalize the terms of his contract with Atlético Madrid within the next 24 to 48 hours. The move will see the player join the ranks of the La Liga club, pending the successful negotiation of these final details.
