The automatic purchase clause in Belgian midfielder Arthur Vermeeeren's loan arrangement with RB Leipzig is set to be activated with just one more appearance. This is reported by Germany's preeminent footballing publication, Kicker Magazine. The purchase clause in the 19-year-old's loan deal was rumored to be in line with his estimated market worth of €25 million.
Vermeeren has thus far made 19 appearances across all competitions for the German Red Bulls this season. One more deployment will trigger the purchase at the round number of 20. Though he hasn't gotten his name on the scoresheet for Marco Rose's team yet this year, the defensive midfielder has been well-scored in the German press for consistent performances.
