Anderlecht was interested in Chibuike Nwaiwu, a 21-year-old Nigerian defender currently playing for Wolfsberger AC in Austria. However, his estimated market value of three million was deemed too expensive for Anderlecht. Olivier Renard confirmed withdrawing from the race, and no concrete interest or contact was established between the parties involved. A source close to the player's agent, Dudu Dahan, also confirmed that no discussions took place for a transfer, and Nwaiwu remains focused on his current team, Wolfsberger AC.
