Belgian midfielder Nathan De Cat eyes Paris FC move over Dortmund

Seventeen‑year‑old Anderlecht midfielder Nathan De Cat, described as a top Belgian talent, has attracted interest from several German clubs including Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart. Recent reports show De Cat and his agent in Paris discussing a possible transfer to Paris FC, a French Ligue 2 side. Anderlecht is reportedly seeking a transfer fee of about €25 million.

In an interview on Mauve TV, De Cat expressed uncertainty about his future, acknowledging the emotional difficulty of leaving Anderlecht, the club where he developed. He noted personal connections that once favored Dortmund, but those ties have weakened. The player remains undecided as the new season approaches, with Paris FC and other suitors still in contention.

The situation highlights a potential shift for the promising midfielder, who could move from the Belgian league to either the German Bundesliga or France’s Ligue 2, depending on the outcome of ongoing negotiations.
