Christian Benteke was the subject of links to RSC Anderlecht in recent months regarding a possible return to Belgium. He ultimately did not join the club and chose Al Wahda instead.

Christian Benteke announced he is departing from D.C. United and will become a free agent. Sacha Tavolieri reported that Anderlecht has already made initial contacts. Benteke's brother described this information as fake news. The 35-year-old striker is being considered by two top clubs.

Sasha Tavolieri linked 35-year-old Belgian striker Christian Benteke with a move to both RSC Anderlecht and Club Brugge. In response to a tweet claiming his brother wanted to return to Belgium and that the two clubs were interested, Jonathan Benteke labeled the rumor as false news on X. Christian Benteke announced on Tuesday that he is leaving DC United and will be available on a free transfer from January 1. While Anderlecht is reportedly looking for a striker due to their limited attacking options, Dévy Rigaux of Club Brugge stated that his club is not searching for a forward in January. The player himself has previously expressed his happiness in the United States. The forward has 45 caps and 18 goals for Belgium. His current market value is €2.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
