Nathan De Cat's market value of 25 million is at risk of dropping, according to La Dernière Heure. Het Nieuwsblad reports that his injury will in principle not be a hindrance to a potential top transfer next summer.

Yves Taildeman stated that Nathan De Cat may leave Anderlecht. A loan back is not possible if a German mid-table club buys Nathan De Cat, but it is possible if an English or German top club, such as Bayern München, buys him, although there are still conditions. Nathan De Cat wants certain guarantees from Anderlecht. Anderlecht hopes for a scenario where they receive 30-35 million euro for the player from a European top club and can loan him back for one year. Without European football, Nathan De Cat will leave Anderlecht.

La Dernière Heure reports that Nathan De Cat is entering the final year of his contract. The publication states that a significant salary increase will not convince De Cat to extend his contract, as his priority is sporting ambition. Nathan De Cat would only consider an extension if Anderlecht qualifies for a European competition and builds a squad capable of competing with Union and Club Brugge for the title. La Dernière Heure observes that the only scenario in which De Cat would remain at Anderlecht next season is if he were sold to a major European club that then loaned him back for a season. This scenario is currently not being considered. According to De Cat's entourage, negotiations are currently taking place with clubs from the European sub-top, who would likely want to include the player directly into their squad.

Contract talks between Anderlecht and Nathan De Cat are ongoing. CEO Kenneth Bornauw admitted in Het Nieuwsblad that he hopes De Cat will still be playing in Brussels next season. It is reported that a World Cup selection could further increase the market value and profile of Nathan De Cat.

According to Voetbalnieuws.be, Nathan De Cat has still not signed a new contract at Anderlecht. As he enters the final year of his contract, he will likely have to be sold. It seems unlikely that Anderlecht will receive the hoped-for 40 million euros, and the club will likely have to accept an amount around 25 million.

Nathan De Cat's father, Jens De Cat, stated to La Dernière Heure that a contract extension is not currently a priority, but an extended stay is still possible. The preferred scenario involves a transfer to a 'nice European club', with Nathan De Cat being loaned back to Anderlecht for one year. An important condition for this is that Anderlecht qualifies for European football. Jens De Cat said the chance of Nathan staying is 50%.

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. Anderlecht has made a proposal, but there is a significant financial gap with the player's entourage. 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.

Many top European clubs are interested in Nathan De Cat. According to Het Nieuwsblad, a preferred scenario for Anderlecht is to sell Nathan De Cat and then loan him for another year. Anderlecht can only offer De Cat a contract with a maximum length of three years because he is not yet 18 years old. In the event of a transfer, Anderlecht wants more than the 34 million euros they received for Jérémy Doku.

Nathan De Cat is entering the final year of his contract. According to CEO Kenneth Bornauw, Anderlecht wants to extend his contract, but will have to reconsider should a sufficient offer be made.

Several top clubs in Germany are monitoring Nathan De Cat's contract situation. According to Het Laatste Nieuws, an exit during the winter transfer window is not a possibility. Nathan De Cat will stay at least until the end of the season and will finish the season even if Anderlecht reaches an agreement with another club. Anderlecht made Nathan De Cat an improved contract offer, but as of now, no agreement has been reached.

According to Voetbalnieuws.be, although there is interest in Nathan De Cat and Anderlecht would prefer to keep him, the club would be unlikely to reject a very large offer for the player in January.

According to Voetbalnieuws.be, Nathan De Cat is receiving phone calls from Munich, Dortmund and the Premier League amid ongoing interest from top clubs across Europe. There are ongoing talks to extend his contract with Anderlecht until 2028. The current asking price is 25 million euros, a valuation which foreign analyses reportedly question. If Nathan De Cat remains at Anderlecht until 2027 and does not extend his contract, a transfer for 15 to 20 million euros is possible. However, if he develops perfectly and his contract is extended, a transfer fee of up to 35 million euros is possible. The report also mentions that clubs such as Brighton, Brentford, and Leverkusen are still investing in talent, but with more precision due to stricter financial regulations.

Nathan De Cat has discussed a potential future transfer with Het Laatste Nieuws, amid interest from nearly all major European clubs.

The publication also notes that the player's entourage protects him well regarding contract negotiations and transfer offers.

Amid concrete interest from the European top for Nathan De Cat, CEO Kenneth Bornauw has stated that a lucrative transfer for the player is inevitable in the long term. Bornauw said that while his supporters' heart would prefer to keep De Cat for another three or four years, his CEO-ratio says that will not happen. The CEO added that he would like him to be at the club this season and next, but that this will depend on the player himself and on the incoming offers. Bornauw thinks both parties have an interest in him leaving at the right time, which he specified is not too early and certainly not too late.

According to La Dernière Heure, Anderlecht wants to keep Nathan De Cat, and talks are in progress to extend his contract. The report also states that the club would be unable to disregard a huge offer if one were to arrive from a top European league.

According to Fichajes, Paris Saint-Germain hopes to gain an advantage over competitors for De Cat. The source states the club might act before the start of the winter transfer window and would be willing to pay a minimum of 35 million euros to sign him.

Voetbalnieuws.be states that TeamTalk mentioned Brighton and Hove Albion and also reported a price of approximately 35 million euros.

According to TeamTalk, clubs from the Premier League have become involved in his case. Among these clubs, Brighton and Hove Albion have a particular interest in the young midfielder.

Sam Kerkhofs (90 Minutes) stated his fear that Nathan De Cat could leave Anderlecht as early as this coming summer. Kerkhofs said the club's only hope is for a top club to acquire him and then leave him at Anderlecht for another year. Daan Heymans said De Cat is going to cost tens of millions and that it will definitely be a big transfer. The player is under contract until mid-2027, and his performances at the U17 World Cup will be closely observed by dozens of scouts.

Foreign scouts are coming to watch Nathan De Cat live. Although no names are mentioned, it is suggested that if he continues to evolve, a long stay at Lotto Park is unlikely. De Cat will enter his final contract year in 2026, which could result in a lower transfer fee, tougher conditions, or an exit on his terms. If he is sold next summer, it is noted that De Cat, who feels supported, will negotiate with Anderlecht rather than against them.
