Royal Antwerp has made an official offer for Marwan Al-Sahafi, a 21-year-old forward who impressed at Beerschot with six goals last season. Antwerp showed interest in acquiring him after his return to Al-Ittihad following Beerschot's relegation. However, despite Antwerp's interest, Al-Sahafi appears set to move to the English Championship, with Blackburn Rovers leading the race to sign him. The deal with Blackburn is expected to be a loan with an option to buy, which reportedly excites Al-Sahafi more than the offer from Royal Antwerp. Watford and QPR have also shown interest, but Blackburn's project has reportedly captured the player's enthusiasm. If finalized, this transfer would mark the second time Blackburn has recruited a player from a Belgian team that faced relegation, following their acquisition of Dion De Neve from KV Kortrijk.
