There are rumors about transfers almost every day at a wealthy club like Paris Saint-Germain – according to “HLN“ from Belgium an entire club is now said to have moved into the focus of PSG. Accordingly, the French champions are interested in taking over the heavily indebted Belgian second division team KV Oostende, which occupies 13th place in the Challenger Pro League.

In the wake of the impending departure of Kylian Mbappé (25), the top French club wants to reposition itself. Apparently they not only want to rely on younger players in their own squad, but also want to create new structures based on the example of Manchester City. The City Football Group includes Lommel SK, a Belgian second division team, where talent from other sister clubs can gain match practice.

The Parisians, who have been in Qatari hands since 2011, are said to be not the only interested party in Oostende, whose debts reportedly amounted to around 26 million euros after the 2022/23 season.

“HLN” reports that it is entirely possible that the contract will not be won by the highest bidder, but by the buyer who presents the best concept: “The company court in Bruges has appointed a provisional administrator. This has the task of taking over all powers of the management and board of KV Oostende. In this capacity, he looks for the best solution for the club and everyone involved – not only for the owners but also for the employees, the youth, the community business, the city and the fans.”
