Dender is interested in signing Lierse central defender Bo De Kerf, but they face competition from Antwerp. Both clubs are monitoring the 22-year-old Belgian defender. A potential move to the Jupiler Pro League could happen for De Kerf during the winter transfer window, though his contract with Lierse runs until 2027. De Kerf joined Lierse in January 2025 and has made 18 appearances, providing 1 assist, in the Challenger Pro League this season. His current market value is €600k, according to Transfermarkt.
