Michy Batshuayi has decided to extend his contract with Standard de Liège until 2018. The 19-year-old Belgian striker of Congolese origin had reportedly been courted by other groups, including Anderlecht, but ultimately chose to stay with Standard de Liège. The decision is attributed to the positive relationship between Michy, the new coach Guy Luzon, and the staff, as well as the understanding between all parties involved.
The sports director of Liège, Jean-François De Sart, mentioned that Michy was motivated to progress further and expressed a commitment to the team’s performance. The familiarity with the club’s framework was highlighted as an additional advantage for the player. Both Michy’s individual ambition to improve and the club’s collective ambition to achieve good results seem to have played a role in their decision to continue the adventure together.
This development suggests a positive outlook for Michy Batshuayi’s performance with Standard de Liège in the upcoming season.
