Tinelli to Virton

YOUTH - TRANSFERS Loris Tinelli, a 19-year-old Luxembourger from the U19 selection of Anderlecht, will play for Virton next season. That reports the Luxembourg newspaper Tageblatt. The midfielder played for Anderlecht for three years, but could not break through.


Last season, Tinelli played three games in the UEFA Youth League. He was allowed to start in the first game at Bayern Munich and fell in against PSG and Celtic. At Anderlecht, however, he had no future and so his expiring contract was not renewed.

Virton, who plays in the first amateurs division, already strengthened itself with former Anderlecht player Mohammed Soumaré. The 22-year-old player comes over from Avellino, which has sent him on loan to the Luxembourg champion Dudelange for the past six months.
