Anderlecht is competing for the signature of 24-year-old goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi from Al-Nassr. There is also interest from Cercle Brugge and three Portuguese clubs.

RSC Anderlecht and Cercle Brugge are in a race to secure the services of Nawaf Al-Aqidi, the 24-year-old goalkeeper currently playing for Al-Nassr. Al-Aqidi is regarded as one of the top goalkeepers in the Middle East, with his market value estimated by CIES at 6 million euros. Both Anderlecht and Cercle Brugge had shown interest in acquiring the goalkeeper on a loan deal during the summer transfer window, but the transaction could not be completed due to time limitations. Al-Aqidi is reportedly open to the idea of leaving Al-Nassr soon, as he looks forward to embarking on his first international experience in his career.
