Yari Verschaeren, a 24-year-old Belgian attacking midfielder, is expected to leave Anderlecht on a free transfer this summer because his contract is expiring. The player and his representatives chose not to accept the club's proposals for a new contract, which would have necessitated him taking a significant pay cut. According to an analysis by Franky Van der Elst, a suitable move for Verschaeren would be to a sub-topper in the Netherlands, such as AZ, Utrecht, or NEC. Van der Elst also suggested a mid-table club in a top competition, citing Sevilla, a team like Bremen, or a French side like Nice as other possibilities. Verschaeren has 7 caps and 1 goal for Belgium and in the 2025/2026 Jupiler Pro League season, he has 1 assist in 16 appearances. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €3.00m. In June 2025, reports suggested Anderlecht's asking price for the player was between €3.5 million and €5 million.
