According to Voetbalnieuws.be, Mats Rits has returned to Beerschot. The club is offering Rits a contract until 2029, and sporting director Murat Akin has reacted to his return.

A multi-year contract is ready for Mats Rits at Beerschot. Both parties previously held talks earlier this summer without reaching an agreement. According to Gazet van Antwerpen, the situation has now changed and the deal is almost finalized. Medical tests have already been scheduled for Rits, and the transfer is expected to be completed if the medical tests go according to plan.

Belgian defensive midfielder Mats Rits, 33, is currently without a club after his time at Anderlecht ended, where his playing time had been considerably reduced. Beerschot is in negotiations with the player, although an agreement has not yet been reached. The club's interest in Rits was previously known. He has been a free agent since July and can be signed without a transfer fee. Discussions are focused on contract terms and require concessions from both parties, with a potential agreement possible in the coming hours or days. A move would mean Rits returns to the club where he began his professional career. His market value is estimated at approximately 500,000 euros. He has been capped six times for the Belgium U19 team and has scored two goals.
