Royal Antwerp could reportedly sell Celtic target Michel-Ange Balikwisha this summer as they seek to 'drastically reduce costs'.
The Scottish Premiership champions have long been linked with a move for the winger, who scored four goals and assisted three in 17 games last season. He missed 29 matches of the campaign through injury.

Antwerp are currently enduring financial issues, and their main aim this summer is to 'generate money' and 'drastically reduce costs', according to voetbalprimeur.be.
As a result, they are looking to sell Balikwisha, Mahamdou Doumbia, Senne Lammens and Zeno Van Den Bosch, from whom they 'hope' to make a total of €30 million.
Balikwisha is about to enter the final year of his contract.
He joined Antwerp in 2021 from Standard Liege.
The 24-year-old hinted earlier this year that he could move on this summer: "Without the injuries I have had this season, I probably wouldn’t be at Antwerp anymore," said Balikwisha.
"I suffered a meniscus in the 2024 winter transfer window. And last summer, Celtic, Lille and Lens came knocking and I was out again at a bad time.
"I don’t know whether I will leave this summer. The chairman and Marc Overmars will be in charge of that in the coming weeks. How I end the play-offs will determine a lot.
"If I continue on this path with the way I am playing, things can go quickly. And if it turns our tomorrow that my Antwerp story is coming to an end, then I hope to sign elsewhere in time, so that I can play a farewell match to the fans."
