Nolhan Courtens, an 18-year-old midfielder and former Belgian youth international, is set to leave Antwerp as he was at the end of his contract and did not receive opportunities with the first team. He is expected to sign with SC Heerenveen, where he will initially join the reserve team but participate in the first team's preparations. A verbal agreement has been reached for a two-year contract with an option for a third year. Media sources, including Soccernews, anticipate the deal to be finalized shortly.

Nolhan Courtens, an 18-year-old offensive midfielder, has consistently played for the Young Reds, making 47 appearances. With his contract at Antwerp set to expire this summer, he is nearing a move to Heerenveen in the Netherlands, where he aims to secure a position in the first team under the guidance of Robin Veldman. Although Courtens has been a Belgian youth international at the U16 and U17 levels, he opted to play for the Congolese youth teams. Heerenveen, the club where Courtens is striving to make his mark in the senior squad, is managed by Robin Veldman, who has previous coaching experience with RSCA Futures and Club NXT. Antwerp, dealing with financial constraints and the necessity to monetize their talent following their failure to secure a European spot, is reluctantly parting with promising young talents like Courtens.
