Changes in Anderlecht's defence?

Anderlecht's defensive compartment may change during the winter. Samuel (who arrived in Brussels this summer) and Mazuch (recovering from an injury) can count on foreign interest. The Mauves are already looking for replacements.


Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the Ukraine is willing to pay 3 million euro for Mazuch. Not a bad sum, since Anderlecht paid 1.3 million euro for Mazuch last year. Also the player's salary will increase when he signs his 3.5 year deal.

Samuel on the other hand, could move to Portugal. Sporting Braga would like to land the player, despite the fact that the Brazilian is still injured at his knee.

To cope with these defensive loses, the Mauves are following the 27 year old Czech Tomas Sivok of Besiktas. Though Napoli and Bordeaux are also interested in the player. Sivok has been in Turkey since 2008 when Besiktas bought him for 4.7 million euro from Udinese. He has played for the Czech national team for 32 times in which he scored 5 goals.
