Transfer 14-year-old causes controversy at Standard

YOUTH - TRANSFERS Lucas Monticelli, captain of the U14 of Standard, will make the switch to Anderlecht next summer. A transfer that is not well received in Liège. Monticelli's manager is no longer welcome at Sclessin and the club feeds the rumors that Monticelli chose for the money.


Standard wanted to keep Monticelli, but according to the club, the family of the player and his agent demanded 300,000 euros. The Rouches only wanted to reimburse travel costs.

In La Dernière Heure, the Monticelli family now denies that money was the motive for the transfer to Anderlecht. The choice fell on Anderlecht for sporting reasons, so it sounds. Club Brugge, Ghent and Genk also made a proposal to Monticelli. And foreign clubs offered a higher amount.

Monticelli's manager Franco Iovina is no longer welcome at Sclessin and at Standard's training complex.
