Real Madrid is prepared to make a strong effort to sign RSC Anderlecht's 17-year-old midfielder, Nathan De Cat, and it is said the Spanish club is attracted to his profile. Other top clubs, including Bayern München, Borussia Dortmund, and Premier League teams, are also interested, while Anderlecht hopes to extend his contract which runs until June 2027. A bid of over €20 million from Brighton was reportedly rejected in February 2026, and various reports have cited asking prices from Anderlecht ranging from €25 million to over €50 million.
