According to The Athletic, Dendoncker is attracting interest from the Middle East. There, he would not have to make financial concessions, though the sporting challenge is less significant.

Leander Dendoncker is likely to leave Anderlecht as his recent performances have not convinced the management to keep him, even though he is willing to take a significant pay cut and Aston Villa is willing to negotiate a lower price than the seven million purchase option.

Leander Dendoncker is set to leave Anderlecht as the club has decided not to pursue a permanent transfer from Aston Villa. Despite his strong performance in the Play-Offs, Anderlecht will not attempt to acquire him permanently.

Leander Dendoncker is currently playing on loan at RSC Anderlecht from Aston Villa. Anderlecht cannot afford the purchase option for Dendoncker, making his future uncertain. Dendoncker is not part of Aston Villa's future plans and is looking for stability, preferably not through another loan. He has expressed a desire to feel wanted by a club and project, and is open to a move to a European (sub)top club. He has one year left on his contract with Aston Villa and will return to England in the summer.
