TRANSFERS The RSCA would have set its sights on a well-known face from Neerpede. According to information from the influencer on the X network, Sacha Tavoleri, Sporting have taken steps to convince Ethan Butera, a young 19-year-old defender currently under contract with Ajax, to return to where it all began.
Trained in the Anderlecht training center, Butera left the capital in 2023 to join Amsterdam, a transfer estimated at 1.5 million euros.

The first contacts have already taken place between Anderlecht and the player’s entourage. The idea is clear: bring Butera home and integrate him into a sporting project where youth plays a central role. But competition exists. STVV and Cercle Bruges are also monitoring the situation, aware of the value of such a profile.
For his part, the defender keeps a cool head. Interviewed recently, he insisted on his desire to progress above all: “I especially think about my development. I’m playing a lot at the moment, and the rest will come later. »
For Ajax, a free departure would be a big blow. The Dutch club would risk losing an investment without financial return. For Anderlecht, on the other hand, it would be a nice transfer window: recovering a talent trained at Neerpede, ready to take a new step, and thus strengthening its youth and training identity.
