According to CaughtOffside, Belgium is now Illan Meslier's most likely destination, and Club and Anderlecht are interested in him. A limited transfer fee would still have to be paid for him in January. Next summer, Meslier's contract ends and he can be acquired for free.

It is reported that Illan Meslier is attracting growing interest for a potential exit in the January transfer window. Club Brugge are competing with Anderlecht for the signing of Meslier. Some initial contacts have already taken place over his departure, and Club Brugge and Anderlecht are seemingly his most likely next destinations.

Illan Meslier has become the third-choice goalkeeper at Leeds United. In April, manager Daniel Farke removed Meslier from the starting lineup after mistakes against Swansea, with Karl Darlow finishing the season in goal. Following their promotion to the Premier League, Leeds signed Lucas Perri as their new primary goalkeeper. The club would now be willing to sell Meslier for a symbolic amount, despite his market value being around €14 million. His presumed salary is £30,000 per week, which is considered high for Anderlecht but could potentially be managed with signing bonuses and contract length. It is suggested that Meslier is seen as a sporting and financial opportunity for the Belgian club. Meslier, a 25-year-old Frenchman, became the youngest goalkeeper to achieve more than 10 Premier League clean sheets in the 2020/21 season, and his former club Lorient reportedly refused a €10 million bid from Monaco for him in 2018.

Self-proclaimed transfer watcher Erkrem Konur claims that Ilan Meslier is of interest to both RSC Anderlecht and their rivals Club Brugge. The 25-year-old French goalkeeper is allowed to leave Leeds United as he is in his final contract year. Anderlecht could reportedly use a backup for Colin Coosemans, while Club Brugge may be looking to replace Simon Mignolet after the season. There is said to be significant interest in Meslier, with Celtic, Olympique Lyon, OGC Nice, Sevilla, Real Betis, Torino, and AZ Alkmaar also linked. According to Transfermarkt, the player has a current market value of €14.00m.
