Having succeeded Jesper Fredberg as sporting director of Anderlecht, Olivier Renard knows that he will have to face a major challenge in January.
Sporting’s transfer campaign was not good last summer and the desired reinforcements did not arrive. We will therefore have to change things in the coming weeks. But to be able to recruit, Anderlecht will have to sell.
Sell to buy
A player can thus allow the Mauves to bring in the money necessary to make incoming transfers. Arriving at Lotto Park in 2023, Kasper Dolberg has not always been successful but he still scored fifteen goals for his first season at Anderlecht.
At the start, the Dane was too often isolated and did not receive the crosses that would allow him to make the difference. Not succeeding in making the difference in an individual action either, he had a little difficulty in imposing himself.
Foreign interests
But in the last matches before the international break, Dolberg found the net again and in four matches, against Tubize, Kortrijk, RFS and Cercle Brugge, he sent the ball into the back of the net eight times. Figures which have put foreign recruiters on alert.
Thus, we learned that Dolberg could leave Anederlecht. German journalist Florian Plettenberg speaks of interest in the Dane from the Premier League and Bundesliga. The player himself would be open to a departure next summer.
Still according to the same source, the striker could bring between 10 and 15 million euros to Anderlecht. The opportunity to make a considerable profit since Dolberg was recruited for the modest sum of 5 million euros in Nice in 2023. Renard will therefore have the opportunity to prove that he can double or even triple this amount if he negotiates well .
