Kasper Dolberg has won the hearts of all Anderlecht supporters. But it is rumored that the striker could well leave in January. We therefore listened carefully to catch the latest echoes concerning the Dane.
It was Brian Riemer who raised the issue last week, saying “he would be surprised if Dolberg stayed at Anderlecht during the winter transfer window”. The Danish coach and former Sporting coach was undoubtedly speaking for himself, because he would welcome the fact that his team’s striker was playing for a major player in Europe.
But Riemer’s words will have little influence on Dolberg’s situation. Against Serbia, the 27-year-old striker started but did not have a single opportunity to shoot. Under Brian Riemer he has scored once in eight games this season, while under David Huberthe scored 13 times in 13 matches. In other words, only three achievements less than in the entire collaboration with Riemer…i.e. 50 matches.
Dolberg simply feels great for the first time in a long time
Dolberg never criticized Riemer, it is difficult for him to find one word higher than the other. However, Neerpede initiates knew that he was not happy being alone on his island in attack. Hubert changed that by pushing Mario Stroeykens – which also benefits – higher and creating a lot of movement around it.
After his second goal against Ghent, Dolberg even celebrated enthusiastically by his standards. A striker with these statistics indeed attracts the attention of many foreign clubs. But for now, he’s just looking for stability.
In Nice, Hoffenheim and Seville he did not feel well. In Brussels, yes. Within the club, everyone sees that he feels good in the capital. The native of Silkeborg has a beautiful apartment where his one-year-old twins thrive. In Neerpede, he is simply a jovial boy: “You saw him celebrating, that’s how we see him every day” said Mats Rits yesterday. “He gets along very well with the group.”
Dolberg doesn’t want to just go back to being another player
The Mauves supporters chanted his name until he came towards them after the match. Even Dolberg is not indifferent to this. He knows he will have everything to prove again if he leaves for another club. Money isn’t everything. Selling Dolberg in January is not planned. Even if he is currently the man who can bring in the most with Stroeykens.
“I’ve played with many strikers, but Kasper is different. His finishing, even in training, is something I’ve rarely seen. It’s just incredible,” Rits emphasized.
From there to seeing him perform until the end of his contract in 2027, there is a step. But influential voices in Neerpede confirm that he never mentioned a possible departure. A little pride is not foreign to him. Leaving Anderlecht to become just one of many again is not his plan.
