Omar Rekik was previously linked to Anderlecht, but he has extended his contract with Maribor until 2027. This extension likely rules out a summer transfer to Anderlecht.

Anderlecht is considering signing Omar Rekik, a 23-year-old Tunisian defender currently playing for Maribor. He was previously on their radar a few years ago. With a busy summer ahead, Anderlecht is set to part ways with several key players, including Jan Vertonghen who is retiring, and loanees Adryelson, Leander Dendoncker, and Samuel Edozie, who are not staying. This has prompted the club to seek reinforcements in defense, bringing Rekik back into consideration as they look to inject fresh talent into their squad.
