Standard Liège and Royal Antwerp FC have shown concrete interest in signing Mërgim Berisha, a 27-year-old German international, from TSG Hoffenheim. The striker, who has two caps for his country and is under contract until 2027, is out of favor at his current club, which he joined in August 2023. He is also attracting interest from Sturm Graz and Augsburg. Lecce has also contacted the player in recent days.
With the winter transfer window ending, the Belgian clubs are reportedly trying to accelerate proceedings to finalize a deal. Due to the financial situations at both Standard and Antwerp, a loan move is considered a possible option. Berisha's current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €2.5 million, a significant decrease from the €14 million fee Hoffenheim reportedly paid for him in August 2023.
