Dries Mertens was observed in the Lotto Park during a match, seated in the loges of Leander Dendoncker. Despite his current strong performance at Galatasaray, his contract is nearing expiration. There is a possibility of a transfer, potentially for the next summer, although no concrete interest has been reported yet. The 37-year-old attacker was noted for his presence by DAZN, and he has significantly contributed to Galatasaray's success this season with five goals and 16 assists in 31 appearances. Despite his impressive form, a quick return to Anderlecht, where he spent part of his youth training, seems unlikely. Nevertheless, he could potentially be an ideal fit for Anderlecht's new 3-4-3 system, possibly becoming a key player in the attacking lineup. Such a move might also assist Mertens in regaining attention from the national team under the new coach Rudi Garcia, as he has not been favored since Domenico Tedesco's tenure.
