Nathan De Cat is approaching the final year of his contract at Anderlecht. According to Het Laatste Nieuws, the chance of a contract extension at the club is decreasing.

If an agreement is not reached, Anderlecht will have to agree to a transfer in the upcoming summer, which could possibly include a loan-back for one year. Analyst Marc Delire stated on Dans le Vestiaire that De Cat should be sold for a minimum of 50 million euros, making a reference to transfer fees paid in England for players with less talent. Olivier Deschacht told Sporza that if he were a top club, he would pay 40 million euros for De Cat. Deschacht stated that De Cat is worth that amount and possesses the perfect profile for clubs.

Many observers consider Nathan De Cat ready to play at a higher level. While some suggest a contract extension at Anderlecht, Hein Vanhaezebrouck does not expect De Cat to sign a new contract. Vanhaezebrouck suggests that De Cat and his entourage might want to control his future in the upcoming summer, viewing it as a unique opportunity. Vanhaezebrouck also mentions that large clubs could make a significant deal for the player, and he suggests that perhaps the best outcome would be for Anderlecht to sell him and arrange for him to remain on loan in Brussels for another year. It is also mentioned that a transfer fee over 30 million would be considered too high for De Cat in the current situation, unless he soon becomes a Belgium international.
