Tibe De Vlieger, a 20-year-old Belgian central midfielder, has attracted interest from several foreign clubs, with Bologna, Olympique Marseille, Burnley, and Benfica named as potentially interested parties. AA Gent could receive a significant offer if this interest becomes more concrete. De Vlieger's contract runs until mid-2030, which places the club in a strong negotiating position. Although Transfermarkt values him at three million euros, AA Gent is expected to ask for a much higher fee. The club would prefer for its youth product to stay for at least one more year, believing it would be beneficial for his development. De Vlieger joined Gent in January 2024 and has made three appearances for the Belgium U19 national team.
