Mario Stroeykens, a Belgian youth international midfielder, is currently contracted with Anderlecht until 2026 and holds a market value of 14 million euros. Leeds United, having recently ascended to the Premier League following their Championship victory last season, has expressed interest in Stroeykens and initiated discussions on personal terms. Nonetheless, an official bid has yet to be submitted. Last season, the player participated in 39 competitive matches, netting five goals and providing seven assists. A transfer to a leading European league could bolster his prospects for selection in the Belgian national team, given the intense competition within the squad under coach Rudi Garcia. Journalist Sacha Tavolieri indicated that a summer transfer is plausible, and noted that Anderlecht may need to sell in order to optimize their financial return.
