Anderlecht is working towards a permanent departure of Adriano Bertaccini. The 25-year-old striker sees his playing time decrease and has less prospects in Brussels with new competition in the central forward position.
Bertaccini arrived at RSC Anderlecht last summer after a strong season at STVV. In Sint-Truiden, he became a fan favorite and finished the regular season and playoffs with 21 goals. He became co-top scorer.
Anderlecht wants a definitive solution for Bertaccini's departure. A loan, even with a purchase option, is less preferred in Brussels. There is already interest from abroad. AS Saint-Étienne has inquired about Bertaccini as a possible replacement for Lucas Stassin, if that club still manages to make a transfer. Also, Norwich City, where Philippe Clement is the coach, has gathered information.
Vitor Bruno is preparing his team for the European return match against Kairat Almaty, but the pressure to also find a solution for Bertaccini is great. The first interested parties have made themselves known, but the next step lies with a club that also meets Anderlecht's requirements.
Anderlecht is currently 10th in the Jupiler Pro League, with 3 points, 1 win, 0 draws, and 1 loss from 2 games. They have scored 2 goals and conceded 2 goals. They are 6 points behind the leaders Club Brugge KV. Their next game is on February 13, 2027 against KV Mechelen.
