Ahmed Touba Transfer from İstanbul Başakşehir to Anderlecht
Gazzetta.gr reports on Anderlecht's near-signing of Ahmed Touba last January and the reasons behind the transfer's collapse. Anderlecht came close to signing Ahmed Touba last January, but the transfer did not proceed due to a strategic shift towards younger players and the demands from Basaksehir. Ahmed Touba expressed his dissatisfaction with the failed transfer to the media.
Ahmed Touba was on loan at KV Mechelen, who decided not to exercise the purchase option of 800,000 euros. He is returning to his parent club, Basaksehir, in Turkey. Anderlecht, through Olivier Renard, has shown interest in Touba. Anderlecht is looking for a left-footed central defender due to Jan Vertonghen's retirement and is considering Touba, who has a market value of 2.2 million euros and is financially feasible for the club.
Ahmed Touba, currently on loan at KV Mechelen from Basaksehir, has attracted interest from Anderlecht. He is a 26-year-old Algerian international and former youth player of Zulte Waregem and Club Brugge. KV Mechelen has an option to buy him for 800,000 euros, and it is expected they will exercise this option before a concrete offer from Anderlecht can be made. Touba prefers a stable Belgian project, which makes Anderlecht an attractive option, especially with upcoming tournaments for Algeria. Besnik Hasi's previous collaboration with Touba at KV Mechelen might also influence the decision.
Ahmed Touba is a more likely target for Anderlecht's A team. KV Mechelen is willing to activate his buy option of 800,000 euros with the intention to sell him immediately. He is also sought after in Spain.
Anderlecht is interested in signing Ahmed Touba, a Belgian Algerian defender, who is having a strong season. However, they will need to negotiate with KV Mechelen, who currently have him on loan and intend to exercise their purchase option.
RSC Anderlecht shows renewed interest in Ahmed Touba, the 27-year-old central defender from KV Mechelen. Anderlecht wanted to acquire him last winter, but Mechelen declined the offer.

Touba confirms that Anderlecht is still interested.
Ahmed Touba has been linked with a move to Anderlecht since January. The interest from Anderlecht is still present, and there have been contacts between the player and the club. Touba is on Anderlecht's radar, and discussions are expected to occur after the season. He is currently playing well at KV Mechelen and is considering his options, as he wants to make a significant decision at the age of 27.
Ahmed Touba is currently on loan at KV Mechelen from Basaksehir. Anderlecht showed interest in him in January, but it was not possible at that time. KV Mechelen has a purchase option and might buy him first and then sell him. Touba does not want to return to Turkey, making a transfer to Anderlecht a real possibility in the summer, according to Tim Matthys, the sporting director.
There were indications that Anderlecht might have been interested in Ahmed Touba, but this interest has been dismissed, as reported by Het Nieuwsblad. KV Mechelen, who currently has Touba on loan from Basaksehir, intends to activate the purchase option for just under a million euros and possibly sell him for a profit. Anderlecht, in the process of searching for defensive reinforcements due to Jan Vertonghen's unavailability and Mathias Zanka Jorgensen's potential departure, has decided to focus on other targets, including Siebe Van der Heyden and Nobel Mendy, thereby removing Touba from their shortlist.
