Voetbalnieuws.be reports that Anderlecht desires the return of Chancel Mbemba, viewing him as the leader their defense lacks, but the financial aspect presents an almost insurmountable problem. The club has followed Mbemba with great interest for some time, and contact has recently been made again with Sporting and the player's entourage. The financial issue is the same as it was last year. Last summer, Besnik Hasi wanted an experienced central defender, and although Mbemba was a free agent and discussions occurred, a deal was not financially feasible. The primary problem is not the transfer fee but the total package, which consists of a salary and a signing bonus, and it is also a question of whether Mbemba would be willing to accept a lower amount. Anderlecht would primarily be paying for short-term impact. Mbemba hopes that the World Cup with Congo will create an opportunity for a final major transfer, from both a sporting and a financial perspective. It is reported that he previously rejected a large offer from Saudi Arabia.

Chancel Mbemba is linked again to Anderlecht. According to La Dernière Heure, it is virtually impossible to find a personal agreement with Mbemba, as his financial conditions are a major obstacle. The newspaper states that Mbemba has no plans to return. Het Nieuwsblad also reports the same, but does not rule out a return if no club meets his demands.

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Anderlecht has made contact with Chancel Mbemba's camp about a possible collaboration. Chancel Mbemba has not extended his contract with Lille, which runs until June, and a free departure at the end of the season is considered very likely. The player will spend time considering all options.

RSC Anderlecht has recently renewed its interest in Chancel Mbemba, who joined LOSC Lille in September 2025. Discussions have taken place in recent days between the Brussels club and the entourage of the Congolese defender, who has 104 caps and 7 goals for DR Congo. Observed several times in Lille in recent weeks, Mbemba remains a serious option for the Mauves, especially since his family ties with Brussels favor a potential return to Belgium. His value is currently estimated at 2.5 million euros on Transfermarkt, an amount that could make the transfer affordable for Anderlecht. Chancel Mbemba earns an annual salary of 2,730,000 euros (or 1,791,000,000 FCFA) with the Dogues. No imminent decision is expected. The 31-year-old player would prefer a thoughtful choice after the next World Cup. He is under contract until June 2026. Al Ittihad has also been linked with the player.
