Players revealed abroad? This has long since ceased to be an option for Belgian clubs. Once again, the Jupiler Pro League has become a transit competition, with occasional big loans.
However, it is sometimes possible to conclude agreements with young talents or players who fail to establish themselves in their top-level team abroad. In this regard, there is now the case of Livano Commendation from Juventus Turin.
Until the summer of 2023, he was still playing for PSV Eindhoven, where he made a big impression. He had been there since 2011, but last summer he chose a new adventure in Italy.
Union and Genk on Livano Comenencia (Juventus)
There, he failed to establish himself in the first team last season, but he had a very good season with the Old Lady’s reserve team. In the end, he scored three goals and provided seven assists in all competitions.
This could propel him from the Italian third division championship (Serie C) to the top level faster than expected. According to various sources, he would attract the interest of many clubs.
Union Saint-Gilloise and KRC Genk would both like to have him in their team. The player has a market value of 800,000 euros, but nothing is yet known about the amount of a possible transfer. He is under contract with Juventus until June 2025.
At PSV Eindhoven, the right midfielder was considered a great talent. This then earned him the attention of many big clubs – Juventus Turin were certainly not the only team following him closely.
The outbreak in Belgium now?
The problem with teams like Juventus is that they sign a lot of players and then loan them out and/or put them in the reserve team. So it can be very difficult to really break into a big club.
A move to the Belgian league could therefore be a more interesting option for a 20-year-old. At this stage of his career, the young player should try to play as much as possible. That he has talent? All Dutch sources contacted agree on this point.
Livano # Commencement …from the second part of the season we will see him in the first team.
He is the midfielder of #Allegri not only because he has hair like Weston #McKennie #Juventus
