Nathan De Cat Near Transfer from Anderlecht to Hoffenheim

Belgian 17‑year‑old midfielder Nathan De Cat, a highly rated Anderlecht academy prospect, is reported to have reached a personal agreement with German Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim. Negotiations are ongoing, with Anderlecht yet to confirm a final deal and transfer fee discussions reportedly centering around €27 million, which would be a record for Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim is currently the frontrunner, although Dutch club PSV Eindhoven has also shown serious interest. The move would give De Cat a pathway to first‑team football in the Bundesliga, while Anderlecht faces the challenge of retaining its top youth talent amid growing international demand.
