Anderlecht wants to sell its left-back Moussa N'Diaye to Schalke 04, but the German club wants a new loan deal. N'Diaye made the move from Anderlecht to Schalke 04 last winter and quickly became a key player. The newly promoted Bundesliga club wants to keep the left-back for next season as well. According to Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, Schalke is looking for a financially viable solution to keep N'Diaye at the club. A new loan deal could be one of the options, as a expensive permanent transfer is difficult. Anderlecht realizes that the 23-year-old defender has increased his market value again and wants to take advantage of it. N'Diaye is still under contract until the summer of 2028 and his original loan to Schalke did not include a purchase option. This gives Anderlecht a strong negotiating position. German and Belgian sources report that Anderlecht is aiming for a significant transfer fee and is not interested in a new temporary loan. N'Diaye was born in Dakar and partially completed his training at the Aspire Academy, before moving to FC Barcelona. In 2022, Anderlecht brought the versatile left-back to the Lotto Park. The Senegalese player made over a hundred appearances for Anderlecht and proved his value as both a left-back and a central defender. Last winter, Anderlecht chose to loan N'Diaye to Schalke, where he revived his career. The promotion of Schalke to the Bundesliga changed the situation, but an agreement has not yet been reached. The German club wants to keep N'Diaye, while Anderlecht wants to realize a permanent transfer and receive a nice transfer fee. With a market value of around three million euros and a long-term contract, Anderlecht does not need to rush. Schalke will have to come up with a convincing offer if they want to see N'Diaye play in the Veltins-Arena next season. For now, both clubs seem to be sticking to their own strategy. The negotiations between Anderlecht and Schalke will be exciting in the coming weeks. Anderlecht wants to achieve its goals and Schalke wants to keep its stars. It's a wait-and-see who will have the final say.
