"Keeping Chadli becomes difficult, even impossible"

TRANSFERS Anderlecht would love to continue with Nacer Chadli even after this season. Manager Michel Verschueren spoke about this last month with his colleague from Monaco. However, the chance of success seems small and they realize that at Anderlecht.


When it appeared in August that Chadli, just like last season, could not count on play minutes at Monaco, he chose Anderlecht to put himself in the spotlight for the European Championship 2020. Successfully. But Anderlecht are renting Chadli without a purchase option and that will be a problem.

Anderlecht would like to take over Chadli permanently, but it will not be cheap. Monaco paid 12 million euros last year and would like to recover that amount. Moreover, 30-year-old Liege citizen has the age to embark on a last major sporting and financial adventure. Montreal Impact, where Thierry Henry is the coach, is mentioned.

The Anderlecht board wants to make an effort to keep Chadli, but takes into account the fact that the winger is difficult to resell because of his age. According to Sport / Voetbalmagazine, they realize at Anderlecht that they are facing a difficult task. "It becomes difficult to keep Chadli. Or even impossible," notes the magazine.
