Anderlecht intends for 26-year-old Belgian-Italian forward Adriano Bertaccini to leave before the transfer market closes, and the club strongly prefers a permanent transfer over a loan arrangement. According to transfer watcher Sacha Tavolieri, AS Saint-Étienne is considering Bertaccini as a potential replacement for Lucas Stassin, should Stassin depart. Sacha Tavolieri also notes that Norwich City, managed by Philippe Clement, has inquired for information about the forward. Earlier in August 2026, reports stated that RSC Anderlecht rejected a loan-to-buy offer from Los Angeles FC. Bertaccini joined Anderlecht in August 2025 for a reported €5 million, and his contract runs until 2029. The forward has 5 caps for Belgium U19 and a current Transfermarkt market value of €4.00m.
