TSG Hoffenheim pulled off a major coup when they announced the signing of 18-year-old Nathan De Cat from RSC Anderlecht for a reported €20 million fee earlier this month.
According to Sport Bild, numerous top clubs were interested in De Cat, including Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and Chelsea, but the highly-rated midfielder opted to continue his development at Hoffenheim.
De Cat signed a long-term contract with the Bundesliga club until 2031, but whether he stays that long is highly doubtful – especially given that, according to Sport Bild, his contract includes a €70 million release clause that becomes active in the summer of 2027.
Despite only recently turning 18, De Cat made 53 appearances for Anderlecht’s first team. He also made his senior international debut for Belgium in March.
