Mario Stroeykens, a 20-year-old Belgian attacking midfielder, was in discussions for a potential transfer to Braga, but ultimately, no agreement was reached. Anderlecht had been contemplating the possibility of Stroeykens' departure as they managed player transfers in the final days of the summer transfer window. Despite the prospects of a move, the negotiations did not culminate in a deal, resulting in Stroeykens remaining with Anderlecht for now. His contract with the Belgian club is due to expire on June 30, 2026, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value at €12.00m. Besides Braga, Stroeykens has been associated with several other clubs, including PSV, RB Leipzig, and Milan.
