Sporting continues to prepare for the future with the big project that awaits it, starting with next season for which the club will have to strengthen defensively already to compensate for the departures that are looming.
Mechelen would consider lifting the purchase option for Ahmed Touba (27 years old) to sell it in stride. As already mentioned, one of the interested clubs is Anderlecht, who had already thought of him this winter.
“I am tired of all these boxes and all these moving vans,” said the main interested party in Het Gazet Van Antwerpen. Anderlecht would offer him the stability he is looking for because a return to Brussels would be ideal, he already saw it with his family. In any case, it would be his first choice rather than a new adventure abroad.
-The defender impressed Besnik Hasi during his visit to the Kavé, he played almost everything under his orders. The renewed cooperation with Hasi as well as with the video analyst Jordi Jansen, who accompanied him with Mechelen to Anderlecht, will facilitate the transition. On the athletic level, Touba also corresponds to the desired profile: left -handed, technically good and calm in the field. A modern defender who has flair and who rarely makes mistakes.
A transfer to Anderlecht would also be very positive for Touba on the personal level, he who has a revenge to take after his visit to Bruges, where he received few opportunities. This had pushed him to Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Turkey and Italy.
Finally, the Algerian international has 14 selections and in a cloakroom filled with internationals, he would integrate perfectly. In addition, in view of the African Cup and the 2026 World Cup, he has sports ambitions at the height.
