Mory Konaté hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what KV Mechelen can pretend not to have heard.

Benito Raman is carrying KV Mechelen

14 goals and a season average of 7.26. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match23 Jan 2027

KV Mechelen find a way past Standard Liege

Standard Liege made KV Mechelen work for it, but the scoreboard read 2-0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Mathis Servais gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

95% of the income goes out in wages at KV Mechelen

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Huesca expected to open talks for Sam Hendriks

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. KV Mechelen will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Mateus Sousa Alves is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at KV Mechelen has been clear about where Mateus Sousa Alves stands, which is more than many ever get.

Massimo Decoene knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at KV Mechelen, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The wait is over for Myron van Brederode

It went in off him and he did not care in the slightest. 6 for the season now, and a forward who has scored is a different footballer by Tuesday.

Club Brugge come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and KV Mechelen did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Bouke Boersma: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” KV Mechelen have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Mathis Servais stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mathis Servais and KV Mechelen agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match16 Jan 2027

A bad afternoon for KV Mechelen against Racing Genk

1-3 to Racing Genk, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Axel Witsel gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
