21-year-old Taha Altikardes was on Anderlecht's wishlist last summer with a reported bid of 4 million euros, but no transfer occurred. His market value has increased as he emerges as a central defender of sub-top level in the Turkish Süper Lig. Other clubs such as KRC Genk, Lyon, Torino, Feyenoord, Mainz, and Union Berlin are also interested in him.

Anderlecht is interested in Taha Altıkardeş due to his superior aerial duel and progressive passing stats compared to current Anderlecht defenders. The club's interest is renewed following Jan Vertonghen's long-term injury, Zeno Debast's departure to Sporting CP, and Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen's disappointing performances. Altıkardeş is considered a promising investment for Anderlecht.

Anderlecht is in urgent need of reinforcement in central defense following Jan Vertonghen's injury and Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen's less than impressive performances. Taha Altıkardeş, a promising Turkish defender from Göztepe, has caught their attention. His skills in technique, passing, and aerial dominance make him a significant prospect. Reports indicate that his market value has increased since last summer, when there were discussions about a 4 million euro offer. Anderlecht is keen to secure a new defender by January and has shown renewed interest in Altıkardeş.

Anderlecht is interested in signing Taha Altikardes. The player is a central defender born in 2003, currently playing for Goztepe in Turkey. He has previously played for Buraspor and Trabzospor. His performances have attracted several clubs.
