TRANSFERS Anderlecht wants to bring back former player Camara. So write Sacha Tavolieri and Het Nieuwsblad. Talks with Standard about the offensive flank defender are progressing well. Purple White would pay 4 to 5 million euros for the Neerpede product who left for free two years ago.


In early September 2023, Camara left Neerpede after a strong season with the Futures for an adventure in 1A with RWDM. His strong performances earned him a transfer to Standard a year later. The Rouches rented him last season with an option to buy. He also performed strongly at Standard, leading Standard to light the purchase option worth €1.8 million. With the intention of selling him on.

That now looks set to happen to Anderlecht. According to Tavolieri, talks between Standard and Anderlecht are progressing well. He speaks of a transfer fee of €5 million. In turn, Het Laatste Nieuw mentions an amount between 4 and 4.5 million euros.

Camara is an interesting profile. He is an offensive flank defender who can play both left and right. Moreover, he is Belgian, although he recently made his debut for Senegal's national team
