Union SG is on the verge of signing 24-year-old defender Louis Patris from Sint-Truiden VV, following an agreement on a transfer fee ranging between 3.5 and 4 million euros. Patris, who has represented Belgium as a youth international, has previously played for Standard and OHL. This transfer is a notable development in the Jupiler Pro League, as Union SG, the reigning Belgian champions now participating in the Champions League, seeks to strengthen their team. Patris, once valued at 3.5 million euros by Anderlecht, was bought by Sint-Truiden for almost 2 million euros after a loan period, enabling them to secure a significant profit with this transaction. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €2.00m, and there had been recent interest from Italian club Sassuolo.
