Anderlecht interested in Fortoúnis

TRANSFERS The Anderlecht will pay close attention to Thursday's match against Greek side Olympiakos. Not only because this is a crucial match to qualify for the next stage of the UEFA Europe League, but also because they are reported to be interested in midfielder Konstantinos Fortoúnis.

Greek website Gazetta claims Anderlecht see Fortoúnis as a possible successor of Dennis Praet, who is likely to leave next summer. Fortoúnis is a 23-year-old Greek international who scored 15 times out of 21 appearances. Fortoúnis can play both as a midfielder than as a striker.

However, a transfer to Anderlecht will not be easy. The Greek's market value is estimated at four million Euros and is increasing with every goal he scores. Also Bayer Leverkusen are reported to be interested in the midfielder, who still has a contract at Olympiakos until mid 2019.
