These are good times for Janssen anyway. On Tuesday evening, after five years, he made his comeback with the Dutch national team, in the international match against Wales. He will celebrate his 28th birthday on Wednesday. And then a transfer must follow.

Janssen currently plays for the Mexican Monterrey, which bought him from Tottenham in 2019. After three years, however, he thinks it is time for something new, also to put himself in the spotlight for the World Cup. A return to Europe beckons and so does a transition to our country. Antwerp is very interested and has already taken the necessary steps in the file. The expensive file, because Monterrey himself paid 9 million euros at the time and there are the demands of the player, who earns about 2 million euros net per year in Mexico. That is why they also investigated the possibility of a rental with purchase option at the Bosuil. But in any case, a deal is in the works.

Janssen also admitted that on Tuesday evening. “I spoke with Marc Overmars and Mark van Bommel. We intend to reach an agreement on both sides. Hopefully this will become clear in the coming days.”

Janssen has already proved in the past that he knows the target. Especially at AZ, where he became top scorer in 2016 with 27 goals. He then decorated his top transfer to Spurs, but it was more difficult in the Premier League and he only managed to score two goals. After Mexico, where he won several prizes, he now wants to work in Belgium.
