TRANSFERS Anderlecht is one of the clubs showing interest in Elias Benkara, an 18-year-old center back from Borussia Dortmund. This is reported by Bild. According to the German newspaper, Dortmund is very keen to keep Benkara, but he is unsure whether staying is the right choice.
 


Benkara is a regular on Dortmund's reserve team. He has made the matchday roster for the first team on several occasions and traveled to the United States for the Club World Cup, though he has yet to play. This is now causing him to have doubts, according to Bild. Benkara is open to extending his contract, but also wants to know what his prospects are for playing time.

In addition to Anderlecht, Feyenoord is also mentioned as an interested club, along with numerous other unnamed clubs.
