Showdown with Bayern? BVB target top Belgian talent | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund will once again place increased emphasis on signing top talents in the upcoming transfer windows—players who can make the leap to international class at BVB and later command a high transfer fee. In recent days, Viktor Dadason (FC Copenhagen), Joan Martínez (Real Madrid Castilla), and Kennet Eichhorn (Hertha BSC) have already been linked with Borussia from this category, and now Nathan De Cat is also being discussed.

According to information from “Sky,” BVB, like Bayern Munich, has shown great interest in the just 17-year-old De Cat, whose market value has already been estimated at seven million euros by “transfermarkt.de”—not by coincidence.

Key Player at Belgian Record Champions

The 1.92-meter-tall midfielder, considered a box-to-box player and a similar type to Leon Goretzka, made his debut for the RSC Anderlecht first team last season at just 16 years old and has since become an undisputed regular at the Belgian record champions.

In the current Jupiler Pro League season, De Cat has started in 13 of the first 14 matchdays and was substituted in once more. So far, the youngster has recorded one goal and one assist. Additionally, De Cat made five appearances in both the Europa League and Conference League qualifiers, but with Anderlecht, he failed to reach the group stage in either competition.

The two German heavyweights are not alone in their interest in De Cat. Well-known clubs from other countries are also said to have made inquiries.

However, BVB’s strong reputation as an ideal development club could be a plus, with sporting director Sebastian Kehl highly valuing De Cat and likely to leave no stone unturned to secure his signature. Since De Cat’s contract runs only until 2027, a decision about his future will probably be made by next summer at the latest.
