Newcastle is one of the foreign clubs mentioned as being interested in Nathan De Cat. There is a possibility mentioned that Anderlecht could negotiate a transfer where De Cat is sold and then loaned back for one season. Multiple clubs are reportedly interested, which could lead to a bidding war. Belgian media have reported for weeks that Nathan De Cat is expected to become the club's most expensive outgoing transfer. Hein Vanhaezebrouck stated in Het Nieuwsblad that being a Belgian international could increase Nathan De Cat's price by 5 million. Olivier Deschacht stated on Sporza that a top club could pay 40 million for De Cat, but that such amounts are not yet certain. A transfer fee of 30 million is considered more realistic. According to Het Nieuwsblad, Nathan De Cat's contract is valid until 2027, and contract extension negotiations have been ongoing for months without an agreement. CEO Kenneth Bornauw said in Het Nieuwsblad that he hopes De Cat will play for Anderlecht next season, but stated this depends on the end of the season and the player's wishes. Anderlecht wants to keep De Cat but is aware it may have to negotiate a transfer this summer.

According to Voetbalnieuws.be, Newcastle United has potential interest in Nathan De Cat, and he is favorably regarded at St. James' Park. A potential reason for the interest is that space could become available in midfield due to the possible departure of Sandro Tonali and/or Bruno Guimaraes. It is noted that the competition for the 17-year-old is significant. There is uncertainty from De Cat's camp about whether Newcastle is seen as a good step, and it is uncertain if the interest will become concrete.

Nathan De Cat is nearing his final contract year and a contract extension appears unlikely. A sale this summer, possibly with a loan back to Anderlecht, is among the options. Nathan De Cat has been linked for months to a major transfer, and it is said that Newcastle United is interested.

Anderlecht midfielder Nathan De Cat has been linked with a move to Newcastle United. The 17-year-old Belgian has also been previously associated with Aston Villa, and multiple top European clubs including Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Olympique Marseille, and Bayer Leverkusen are now monitoring him. Belgian media has reported that Anderlecht is open to talks for a transfer fee of around €35 million, despite the player having a contract that runs until 2027.
