It is reported that Al Wasl from the United Arab Emirates is making an immediate attempt to sign 20-year-old winger Amidou Badji from the Turkish second-division club Bandirma Spor. This attempt is facilitated by the local transfer window, which is open until the end of the month. This interest from Al Wasl is an obstacle for RSC Anderlecht, who are also interested in signing the Senegalese attacker. The Belgian club considers Badji a primary target and was expected to make a formal offer for him in January. Badji joined his current club in January 2026, has a contract until June 2029, and has made three appearances for the Senegal U20 team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €450k. It was reported in August 2026 that Anderlecht had submitted a formal offer of approximately €2,000,000. Lorient was also said to have made a similar proposal.
