Anderlecht midfielder Nathan De Cat has been linked with a move to Newcastle United. The 17-year-old Belgian has also been previously associated with other Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa. Multiple top European clubs are now monitoring the player, with Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Olympique Marseille, and Bayer Leverkusen identified as interested parties.
Belgian media has reported that Anderlecht is open to talks for a transfer fee of around €35 million. This is despite the player having a contract that runs until 2027. The youth international has one cap and one goal for Belgium U18. In 20 appearances in the Jupiler Pro League this season, he has contributed one goal and one assist. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €17.00m. In late 2025, Aston Villa was reportedly preparing an offer of €22-25 million plus bonuses. Other rumoured transfer fees have reached up to £31 million.
