Vincent Janssen piqued the interest of a Belgian team, and the Monterrey team did not object to his departure; in this way, he will return to Europe after three years in Liga MX.
Rayados de Monterrey had hinted that they had no plans for Vincent Janssen, the Dutch striker, for the upcoming Apertura 2022 competition, after asking about certain strikers on the market, including Argentine Germán Berterame.
They received an offer for Janssen and after analyzing it, they decided to accept. We’re talking about a Belgian league team, and while it was initially thought to be Standard Liège, we don’t know what the future holds for the “Toro.”
It seems that being called up by the Netherlands National Team for the Nations League put him back on the radar of European teams and that’s where the interest came from. Last Thursday, June 9, a video of a goal he scored in practice with the “Clockwork Orange” began to circulate on social networks. In the video you can see how he eludes the defenders and shoots at the goal without any problem. If that’s what they saw in Belgium, now we understand why they want him.
Vincent Janssen returns to Europe
The 27-year-old striker arrived in Monterrey in July 2019 from Tottenham for the amount of 10 million euros. He was expected to have a strong performance with the Monterrey team, but that did not happen. He has appeared in 79 games for Rayados, including the Liga MX and Concachampions matches, scoring 17 goals.
From the Sultana del Norte they report that the transfer of Vincent Janssen to the Belgian league would be worth 5.5 million euros. Although they will not be able to recoup their investment, the money could be used to secure one or two players to strengthen the team.
In addition to looking for Berterame, Rayados has asked about Joao Joshimar Rojas, who currently plays for Emelec in Ecuador. The Ecuadorian team is asking for 3.5 million dollars, and that figure would be covered with what they will receive after the Dutchman’s departure.
Janssen remains focused on the Netherlands team, and we will have to wait for him to be done with it in order to find out his fate.
