Bart Goor and Serhat Akin will likely play their last months at Anderlecht. Both players are at the end of their contract and the club does not seem eager to extend it.

Serhat Akin is also on the departure. The Turkish striker did receive a new offer recently, but the deal would only extend his contract with a single year, a sign the club has little faith in the injury-prone striker.

The good news is that I'm a free player in June."

Another player to leave the club is Mbo Mpenza. The Belgian striker's contract won't be extended either. Mark De Man is also looking for a new club now that he has lost his spot in the starting line-up.
