The French club Lille is one of the teams interested in signing René Mitongo, an 18-year-old striker from Standard. Paris FC is also interested in the player. In total, approximately a dozen clubs in Europe, which include the Italian teams AC Milan and Juventus, are pursuing the youth international. Standard has rejected offers for Mitongo in the past, turning down a bid of multiple million euros from the Spanish second-division club Almeria in January. The Belgian forward's contract with Standard Liège is valid until June 30, 2028. For the Belgium U18 team, he has been capped three times and scored one goal. In the current season, Mitongo has scored five goals in eight appearances in the 1ste Nationale ACFF and has also played in six matches in the Jupiler Pro League. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €500k.
