The transfer saga surrounding Belgian racer 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maxim Van Gils and Lotto contin🥀ues to rumble on with both parties now working towards an amicable agreement which will secure the 25-year-old move elsewhere sooner rather than later.

Teams including 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, Astana Qazaqstan, Ineos Grenadiers and UAE Team Emirates have allಞ been linked with his signing. However, first he and hiܫs soon-to-be-former team will have to agree on a fee to break his contract early.
He said on Monday that talks with Lotto 𒐪were "very positive", according to , noting that "both parties will come to a goo🧸d outcome as good friends."

The team have already brought in 12 new riders for 2025, with Fausto Masnada, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Higuita, Diego Ulissi, Clément Champoussin and Wout Poels among their major signings. Het Laatste Nieuws repꦍorts that Astana has n🐭ow made a "new and financially stronger offer" for Van Gils, after initial talks reportedly resulted in no progress.
Van Gils isn't one of the superstars of the curren𒁃t peloton but could still develop into one following a breakthrough 2024 season which saw him score a string of top-10 results in one-day races from February to September.
He scored victories at Eschborn-Frankfurt and the GP Kantons Argau and was on the podium at Strade Bianche and La Flèche Wallonne while also finishing in the top 10 at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Milan-San Remo, Liège-Bastogne-Liège ꦬand the GP Montréal, among others.
With a buyout fee reportedly in the region of €1-1.2million on the table and a future saꦚlary which could double that, Van Gils' new team will be expecting that he'll bring podiums and wins at those WorldTour and Monument Classics in the future.
