There are no advanced negotiations at the moment, but initial contacts have been made. Longonda's contract expires in May 2028. In the 2025/2026 Prva Liga season, he made 41 appearances, scoring 6 goals and providing 3 assists. He has 2 caps for Belgium's U18 team, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €350k.
