Nathan De Cat is attracting strong interest in Germany, with Bayer Leverkusen and Leipzig joining the race for the young talent. The midfielder, just 17 years old and currently playing for Anderlecht, also remains on Bayern Munich’s radar, with the club keeping him on its list of potential signings.

Even so, despite the interest in the player who is also a Sporting target, the three Bundesliga clubs have another priority for the transfer market: Kennet Eichhorn. The 16-year-old Hertha youngster is currently the main focus for these teams, which could delay any concrete moves for the Belgian talent.
