Anderlecht was looking for reinforcement for its defense, but the track will not go any further. The club must explore other options.
Mihajlo Ilic et Yasin Ozcanwho arrived on loan, did not convince. Anderlecht must look for another solution for its defense. The Brussels leaders hoped to attract significant reinforcements, but the player’s financial demands stopped the discussions dead in their tracks.
A salary too high for Anderlecht
The club had aimed high with Abdou Diallo. The 29-year-old Senegalese international has a solid career, having worked with big teams like PSG, Dortmund and Monaco. According to Foot Mercato, the defender will not return to Belgium this winter and preferred to stay in Qatar, at Al-Arabi
Nice and Los Angeles were also on board, but no one was able to match his salary. With an estimated value of 4.5 million euros on Transfermarkt, his income in the Gulf is too high for Brussels finances.
A hard blow for Anderlecht who were looking for a boss for their defense. Diallo knows our championship well after his time at Zulte Waregem, which would have been huge.
The player will be at the end of his contract next summer and will be able to leave freely. Anderlecht could wait until the end of the season to return to the charge.
