In early July 2026, Royal Antwerp FC announced that it was actively seeking investors, signalling a push to secure new financial backing as part of its plan to bring Dutch forward‑player Calvin Stengs back to the squad. By the end of the month, the club’s focus had shifted to concrete sporting appointments. It was racing to name a new head coach before the start of the Jupiler Pro League season, weighing former defender Marvin Compper and experienced Dutch manager Marink Reedijk. Simultaneously, sport director Marc Overmars was scouting free‑transfer forwards, targeting Swiss striker Michael Frey, as well as free agents Nemanja Gudelj and Maxime Busi, while operating under tight budget constraints. The ~~two~~ updates illustrate Antwerp’s broader strategy of stabilising finances through investment while building the coaching staff and player roster ahead of the new campaign.
