Antwerp is showing interest in acquiring Dembo Sylla from FC Lorient, who is currently on loan at Dender. Despite his limited starts this season, Antwerp views him as a potential addition to bolster their defense. The club has already reached out to his representatives, and reports suggest that initial discussions have been positive. It is believed that a two-year contract is being prepared for Sylla, who appears to be receptive to the proposal. His market value is estimated to be around half a million. Antwerp's interest is driven by their need to strengthen their defense after Toby Alderweireld's retirement and the anticipated exit of Zeno Van den Bosch. Although Sylla has had limited playing time, Dender is contemplating activating their purchase option, and interest from some French second division clubs is also emerging, making it a competitive pursuit for Antwerp.
