VfB Stuttgart has a concrete interest in 17-year-old Belgian RSC Anderlecht midfielder Nathan De Cat as a possible successor to Angelo Stiller. Talks have taken place, according to 'Sky', but the transfer is hindered by two main obstacles: the price and competition. The Belgian club is said to be asking for at least 25 million euros plus bonuses for the player. Additionally, other financially strong clubs such as FC Bayern, RB Leipzig, FC Arsenal, and Newcastle United are also reportedly interested. A transfer for De Cat would likely only become a realistic and affordable option for Stuttgart if Angelo Stiller leaves the club. De Cat has one cap for Belgium, is contracted to Anderlecht until June 30, 2027, and has a current market value on Transfermarkt of €25.00m. Reports from March and April 2026 cited an asking price from Anderlecht between €30 million and €35 million. In February 2026, a bid from Brighton that was reported to be over €20 million was rejected.
