Both Antwerp and Standard are interested in making a late attempt to sign Mërgim Berisha. The 27-year-old German attacker is under contract at TSG Hoffenheim until 2027 but is not central to the club's plans, so a departure is possible. A loan deal is considered an option for the two Belgian clubs due to their financial situations. There is also competition from Sturm Graz, Lecce, and Augsburg to sign the player. Berisha, who has two caps for Germany, joined Hoffenheim in August 2023 for a reported fee of €14 million and has a current market value of €2.50m, according to Transfermarkt.
