Anderlecht Monitoring Canadian Midfielder Saliba Ahead of Contract Expiry

Anderlecht is closely tracking Canadian midfielder Nathan-Dylan Saliba, currently playing for CF Montreal, according to Het Nieuwsblad. The 21-year-old has become an attractive target for the Belgian side, particularly given his contract is set to expire on December 31, making him a financially viable option.

Saliba has featured in 17 matches this season and has already earned two caps with the Canadian national team. His profile as a young, versatile midfielder developed in the MLS aligns with Anderlecht’s strategy of acquiring emerging talents. The club also maintains ties with Montreal through sporting director Olivier Renard, formerly of the Canadian side.

Interest in Saliba has intensified as the chances of Leander Dendoncker returning to Anderlecht appear slim. The experienced midfielder is reportedly drawing attention from clubs in the Middle East, reducing the likelihood of a homecoming.

As Anderlecht looks to reshape its midfield this summer, Saliba represents a low-cost, high-upside prospect who could integrate quickly into the squad.
