Budgetary space for Assaidi?

You can speak of a positive balance when there are 25 outgoing and 4 incoming transfers. But the situation is slightly different budgetwise.


Anderlecht earned about 20 million euros for its outgoing transfers. Lucas Biglia and Dieumerci Mbokani realized the biggest part of the earnings, while many players like Sasha Iakovenko and Milan Jovanovic left for free.

The board paid about 10.5 million for the four incoming players Fabrice N'Sakala, Luka Milivojevic, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Fede Vico. This sum is almost half of the earnings.

Het Nieuwsblad wonders if there is still some financial space for Oussama Assaidi. Liverpool paid about three million euros for the player and wants to recover a big part of that sum. That's why Anderlecht prefers to hire the Moroccan - Dutch player on a rental base. It's possible the transfer price will lower by the end of transfer deadline and Anderlecht could still hire the player.

Assaidi still practises with the first squad of Liverpool. Like this, Liverpool still wants to give Assaidi another chance or wants to keep him focused. So they can earn as much as they can with a possible transfer.
