RSC Anderlecht striker Adriano Bertaccini is the subject of interest from three foreign clubs: German sides Schalke 04, where Youri Mulder is technical director, and Hertha BSC, as well as Swiss club Servette. Anderlecht's initial intention was to sell the Belgian-Italian forward permanently, but a definitive transfer is no longer considered possible in this window. A loan deal with an option to buy is now regarded as a possibility. A temporary departure for the 26-year-old could still be an outcome.

Bertaccini, who has been capped for Belgium at U19 level, joined Anderlecht in August 2025 for a reported €5 million and his contract runs until June 2029. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €4.00m. In August 2026, it was reported that RSC Anderlecht rejected a loan-to-buy offer from Los Angeles FC.
