Vincent Janssen must accept a reduction in his salary and appears willing to do so, although it is not yet known what level of reduction he will agree to. According to both Het Laatste Nieuws and Gazet van Antwerpen, negotiations with Vincent Janssen, who also has sporting demands, have not yet substantively begun.

Voetbal International reports that Royal Antwerp wants to keep striker Vincent Janssen. Coach Joseph Oosting is impressed and wants to retain the player, while technical director Marc Overmars also wants to extend his contract. Janssen's current contract at the club is expiring, and due to the club's financial difficulties, he would have to accept a significant pay cut to extend.

Antwerp is considering an attempt to extend Vincent Janssen's contract, albeit under reduced terms. Janssen would not immediately reject this, as he remains very happy in Antwerp.
