Benito Raman is set to join KV Mechelen instead of Fortuna Düsseldorf. Although Fortuna Düsseldorf expressed interest in re-signing Raman, they aimed to secure him at a reduced price. Klaus Allofs and Christian Weber spent several weeks attempting to lower the transfer fee. Despite Samsunspor's demand of 500,000 EUR for Raman, Fortuna deemed the amount too high for a player who had been sidelined. In contrast, KV Mechelen agreed to the payment, ensuring Raman's participation in the Belgian First Division this season.

KV Mechelen has announced the arrival of Benito Raman, who previously played for KAA Gent and Anderlecht.

Benito Raman is expected to return to Belgium to join KV Mechelen, solving their striker problem. He had been allowed to leave Samsunspor, where he joined in January.
