Anderlecht Balancing Outgoing Transfers with Search for Striker
Anderlecht is working to finalize both player departures and a potential attacking addition before the transfer window closes. The club has already generated €12 million from the sales of Kasper Dolberg to Ajax for €10 million plus bonuses, and Patris. However, a limited budget prevents a notable investment in a new player.
Coach Besnik Hasi currently has limited striking options, relying on Luis Vázquez, who hasn’t scored in official matches despite ten goals in pre-season, and Mihajlo Cvetkovic, who primarily features for RSCA Futures. This situation is compounded by Adriano Bertaccini’s injury, sidelining him for at least eight weeks.
Anderlecht initially pursued Kento Shiogai (NEC) but abandoned the deal due to the cost. The club is now focused on securing a loan from a top foreign league or identifying a low-cost chance, according to Sudinfo.
Several players are potentially leaving the club,including Foket,Ashimeru,Rits,Flips,Stroeykens,and Verschaeren,though Verschaeren is reportedly hesitant about a move abroad.
A poll indicates significant fan interest in acquiring a new striker, with 512 votes cast on the question “Does Anderlecht still need a new striker?”
