Antwerp has expressed interest in acquiring Yannick Thoelen to serve as a backup goalkeeper. Thoelen's current contract with KV Mechelen is set to expire next summer, and he is currently recovering from a foot injury. KV Mechelen has indicated their willingness to negotiate for a limited fee. Thoelen is reportedly eager to make the move, as the 34-year-old has found himself increasingly sidelined at KV Mechelen, where Ortwin De Wolf is currently the preferred choice. With Jean Butez having left for Como, Antwerp is in search of an experienced alternative and considers Thoelen an ideal candidate due to his experience and mindset. They are hopeful of finalizing the transfer soon, as Thoelen could potentially be ready to play in a few weeks.
