Westerlo eyes 20‑year‑old Reno Münz from Greuther Fürth

Belgian Pro League side Westerlo are on the verge of securing the signature of 20‑year‑old defender Reno Münz from German club Greuther Fürth, the Indonesian‑born German who has represented Germany at youth level and logged 50 first‑team appearances, including 29 in last season’s 2. Bundesliga.

Münz spent his formative years in the Bayer Leverkusen youth system. He left on a free transfer to join Greuther Fürth in 2024.

Since joining Greuther Fürth, he has amassed 50 first‑team appearances. Twenty‑nine of those came during the club’s recent 2. Bundesliga campaign.

Greuther Fürth struggled throughout the season. A dramatic final‑day victory over Fortuna Dusseldorf spared them automatic relegation to the third tier.

The club then faced Rot Weiss Essen in the relegation play‑off. Winning over two legs secured their place in the 2. Bundesliga.

Westerlo’s recruitment strategy centres on signing young prospects with resale potential. The club hopes Münz will develop further and generate a larger future fee.

While Westerlo has seen reasonable returns from its youth‑focused policy, it seeks greater impact from its squad. Adding Münz aims to strengthen the defence as the Belgian side pursues its ambitions.
