TRANSFERS The Anderlecht chapter for Majeed Ashimeru seems as good as closed. The Ghanaian has been in a hopeless situation with the Purple & White for months and a departure this winter seems imminent. He was allowed to work again at the Futures, but he did not get further than that. His next destination? Remarkably enough, that would be Racing Genk. At least that’s what Africafoot claims. There is no further confirmation for the time being.
Ashimeru came over from Red Bull Salzburg for 1.5 million euros in the summer of 2021 and started strongly at Anderlecht. He quickly gained a starting place, but gradually faded until he fell completely out of favor. Many injuries contributed to his decline.

Since the six matches in the Champions’ Play-offs last season, he was even completely excluded from the match selection. However, a transfer in the summer did not materialize. As a result, he is now one of the group of players that technical director Olivier Renard was unable to get rid of, while the midfielder still earns a substantial wage without playing any minutes.
In the meantime he showed up again at the RSCA Futures. He played along for half an hour. It does not seem unlikely that Anderlecht wants to put him “in the shop window” for a transfer in this way. Foket also played with the Futures earlier this week. The goal is a departure in January and Renard has been looking for a solution for months. According to Africafoot, Ashimeru has now found a surprising solution: there would be an agreement with Racing Genk. In Limburg he could sign a contract for three seasons.
