He was one of the most coveted young midfielders of the winter transfer window. Brilliant for several months with Royal Antwerp, Arthur Vermeeren was on the shelves of several major clubs on the Old Continent. Still very interesting during the group stage of the Champions League with the Belgian team in recent weeks, a departure of the 18-year-old seemed inevitable this winter. And for several days, it was Atlético de Madrid which had seriously accelerated the file.
This Friday, the Colchoneros confirmed the arrival of the Belgian international (2 selections) who is now linked with the Madrid club for the next six seasons: “Arthur Vermeeren (February 7, 2005, Lier, Belgium) is a new player of Atlético de Madrid after the agreement reached with Antwerp for the transfer of the midfielder to our club, for which he signs for the rest of the season and six more seasons.» Great catch for the Matelassiers while the amount of the transaction is around 20 million euros.
