Venezia sees potential in Joël Schingtienne and wants to acquire the player for 3 million euros plus 500,000 euros in bonuses. The 21-year-old central defender is a key player at OH Leuven, and his departure would be a significant loss for the team. OH Leuven acquired him in 2018 from the youth team of RSC Anderlecht for free. Schingtienne is under contract until mid-2026.
