Anderlecht in talks with Njie: Moretto confirms club interest
Anderlecht is closing in on a transfer deal for striker Njie, the club leadership has confirmed via Moretto. The 24-year-old attacker reportedly requested a move to the Purple and Whites, according to sources close to the Brussels-based club.
What did Moretto say about the transfer?
Moretto, speaking on behalf of the club leadership, confirmed that Anderlecht is in serious talks with Njie’s current club. The striker has long expressed a preference for the Belgian top-flight side, sources reveal. The exact terms of the deal are still being discussed, but the club’s interest is clear.
Anderlecht sit fourth in the Jupiler Pro League with zero points so far this season and have made Njie a transfer priority to boost their attack. The club has been active in the market this week, aiming to strengthen the squad ahead of the new campaign.
Why Njie fits Anderlecht’s attack
Njie is an experienced striker with a proven goal-scoring record in Belgium’s top flight. His arrival could give Anderlecht’s attack a significant lift after a season where goals have been hard to come by. The club has scored zero goals and conceded zero so far this season, leaving them with work to do up front.
Anderlecht’s next fixture is at home against KV Mechelen on 13 February 2027; Mechelen currently sit tenth. A quick resolution to the transfer talks would allow Njie to integrate ahead of this key match.
What happens next?
Negotiations between Anderlecht and Njie’s club are ongoing. Moretto indicated both sides could be close to an agreement but stressed that details still need to be ironed out. If the deal is finalized, Njie could join Anderlecht’s training sessions shortly.
For the club’s supporters, this is a positive signal after a tough start to the season. Anderlecht are aiming to secure a top-four finish in the Jupiler Pro League and push for European qualification.
