According to Sky Sport Deutschland, Anderlecht have recently watched 18-year-old VfB Stuttgart goalkeeper Florian Hellstern live. Anderlecht is following Hellstern, but the transfer will not be cheap, partly because his club prefers to keep him and due to significant financial demands regarding his future. Transfermarkt lists Hellstern at 1.8 million euros, and FootballTransfers estimates his value between 1.7 and 2.5 million euros, though these are not official asking prices. Stuttgart prefers to extend his contract, but it has been reported that talks between the club and Hellstern's camp about a contract extension have stalled. Financial demands from the player's side have been cited by some sources as an obstacle.

Sky Sports reported that Anderlecht is interested in Florian Hellstern and that the club's scouts watched him play live last weekend. Hellstern is the primary goalkeeper for Stuttgart's B team in the German third division and is the fourth keeper for the first team. His contract with Stuttgart is valid until 2027. Discussions about a contract extension have started but are currently paused.

RSC Anderlecht is monitoring U19 national player Florian Hellstern, whose contract with VfB Stuttgart expires in just over a year. It is reported that RB Leipzig and VfL Wolfsburg are also observing the player. Negotiations to extend his contract have been on hold for some time. The player's financial demands are said to be a point of contention for the club. It was reported that scouts were present at his recent game against Hoffenheim II.
