Nathan De Cat Reaches Personal Deal with Hoffenheim

Seventeen‑year‑old Belgian midfielder Nathan De Cat, currently with Anderlecht, has reportedly signed a personal agreement with German Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim. The German club, looking to replace Grischa Prömel, is also monitoring NEC Nijmegen midfielder Kodai Sano.

Anderlecht’s contract with De Cat runs until mid‑2027, and the club hopes to secure a transfer fee of around €30 million this summer if a new deal cannot be reached. Negotiations are ongoing with both Anderlecht and NEC Nijmegen, while Dutch side PSV have also expressed interest.

Hoffenheim still needs to finalise terms with Anderlecht before completing the move, and the transfer window will determine whether the personal accord turns into a definitive deal.
