Anderlecht could face competition from FC Köln for 23-year-old Romanian left-winger Ianis Stoica. The Estrela Amadora player has also reportedly been the subject of an inquiry from Benfica. Interest in Stoica has grown following his strong start to the season in Portugal, where he has registered four goals and two assists in eight league games. His asking price is said to have increased substantially due to his form. While he could have been bought for €2.5 million in the summer, the latest reports suggest his club might now ask for as much as €7.5 million. Stoica joined Estrela Amadora in July 2025 and his contract runs until June 2028. According to Transfermarkt, he has a market value of €4.00m. He has been capped by Romania at U23 level.
