Everton is one of several English clubs interested in Anderlecht's 17-year-old Belgian midfielder, Nathan De Cat, who is entering the final year of his contract. The Belgian club would consider offers of approximately €40 million for the player. Interest from the Premier League is significant, with Tottenham having contacted Anderlecht, Manchester United making enquiries, and both Manchester City and Chelsea increasing their background checks. Aston Villa, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Newcastle are also interested, while Brighton is still interested after having a bid rejected in January. However, clubs considered outside the 'elite' or not in Europe are in a weaker position to complete a deal. De Cat has one cap for the Belgian national team and his current Transfermarkt market value is €27.00m. In the 2025/2026 Jupiler Pro League season, he made 29 appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 4 assists.
