Charles Vanhoutte is on the cusp of leaving OGC Nice for Feyenoord, and this one is all but settled. The clubs have an agreement worth around €6m, the Belgian midfielder has agreed a four-year contract, and he is due in Rotterdam for his medical in the middle of the week. A fee in the region of £4m–£4.7m is in play, with reports pointing to roughly €5.5m plus €500,000 in bonuses. The only step left is the official confirmation. The sourcing here is strong and consistent. L'Équipe reported the agreement, with Flavien Trésarrieu — one of the most reliable voices on this desk — corroborating the framework and the impending medical. Foot Mercato and Sacha Tavolieri, both dependable, line up behind the same story, with Tavolieri going as far as calling it a done deal. That is four credible names singing in unison, which is about as solid as transfer reporting gets. The engine puts this at 92%, meaning it is very likely to complete. That figure reflects an agreed fee, an agreed contract and a scheduled medical — almost everything that needs to be true already is. The small gap that remains exists because nothing is official until both clubs announce it, and a medical, however routine, still has to be passed. This is in keeping with how Feyenoord do business: they paid £5m to AZ Alkmaar in 2017 and £5m to CD Cruz Azul in 2022, so a deal around this size for a proven midfielder fits the pattern neatly. Watch for the medical to be completed in Rotterdam, after which the official announcement should follow swiftly.
