Transferjournalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that RSC Anderlecht is interested in Ajax talent Ethan Butera. Butera has an expiring contract in Amsterdam, and the Belgian club could sign him on a free transfer at the end of this season. According to Tavolieri, Anderlecht recently communicated its interest to Butera's entourage. The club's management hopes to persuade him to return to Anderlecht, where he previously played in the youth academy. Talks are expected soon between Butera and the Belgian club.

RSC Anderlecht has shown interest in bringing back Ethan Butera, a 19-year-old Belgian left-footed defender who transferred to Ajax Amsterdam in the summer of 2023. The versatile player, who has so far only played for Jong Ajax, is reportedly seeking to secure a position in a first team at the highest level. Sacha Tavolieri reported that further talks are expected between the player and Anderlecht's management. However, Anderlecht faces competition, as Sint-Truiden VV and Cercle Brugge are also monitoring the situation. Butera has a contract in Amsterdam until 2026 and a market value of 550,000 euros, which suggests he could be available for a relatively low fee. The defender has four caps for the Belgium U17 national team and has made 11 appearances in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie in the current 2025/2026 season.
