Anderlecht have opened talks with Dundee United for Will Ferry. This action occurred within the last 24 hours and follows an initial expression of interest from the previous week. The Republic of Ireland international, who has one cap, is in the final year of his contract and has also attracted attention from other clubs, including Celtic, who have him on a list of left-back options. The newly-promoted Bundesliga side Schalke 04 also had a scout watch the 25-year-old. Blackburn Rovers and Charlton are considered to have a long-term interest in the player. This interest follows a recently failed move; last month Dundee United accepted a £1.7 million deal with add-ons from Sigma Olomouc, but Ferry rejected the transfer after discussions with the Czech club. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €1.20m. It was reported that in June 2026, Dundee United rejected a bid of £1 million. In August 2025, the club turned down an offer from an MLS team that was described as a substantial six-figure sum.
