Royal Antwerp and Arthur Vermeeren have reached an agreement with Atlético Madrid for the transfer of the Club’s most expensive player ever. In a deal worth more than £23M Antwerp sees a fan favourite and one of Belgium’s biggest talents leave. From now on, “Arturo” is a Colchonero.
Thank you, Arthur, for the wonderful time you’ve given us. At just 18, with Antwerp you’ve conquered everything Belgium has to offer. You’re an exemplary professional and a beacon for every aspiring young footballer. Congratulations on this superb transfer; everyone who holds Red & White dear wishes you the very best in Madrid and in your – undoubtedly successful – future career. Arturo: always a Red! 🇵🇪💪
