Benoit Thans described Jérémy Doku as a potential successor to Vinicius Jr, leading to renewed speculation about a transfer to Real Madrid. Belgian media reported that both Liverpool and Real Madrid were monitoring him at Anderlecht, and in 2021, Spanish and international media stated the Spanish club was still monitoring his development. Doku's profile could become a higher priority if Rodrygo leaves, but there are presently no significant indications of definite interest from the club.
