Santiago García González to Anderlecht
Quiet since 1 September 2026. Last report: Pieter-Jan Calcoen. Probability when it went quiet: 5%.
Anderlecht have a bid on the table for Santiago García González, but it has stalled. Gil Vicente consider the offer, somewhere in the €3m to €4m range, too low, and the Belgian club are not currently prepared to raise it. That leaves the move stuck exactly where it was: alive, but not moving forward. The only source on record is Pieter-Jan Calcoen, a reporter with solid credibility, writing on 1 September. He is clear that Anderlecht will not push the price up unless Gil Vicente shift their position first, and even then he stops short of calling it likely. No second voice has picked the story up yet, so this sits as a single well-regarded link rather than something corroborated across the Belgian or Portuguese press. Call this a long shot for now. For it to happen, Gil Vicente need to blink on their valuation, since Anderlecht have shown no appetite to bid against themselves. There is no urgency from the buying club, no rival bidder mentioned, and no fresh contact reported since the stalemate was described. Everything hinges on Gil Vicente's willingness to soften, and right now there is little sign of that. Anderlecht have paid this kind of fee before. They brought in players from Dortmund for €4m in both 2021 and 2023, and paid the same amount for a Stade Reims signing in 2023 and a Trabzonspor one too. A deal for García at €3m to €4m would sit comfortably within that pattern, so the money itself is not the obstacle. The gap is about whether Gil Vicente accept it. Watch for any sign Gil Vicente lower their asking price, or for Anderlecht deciding the deal is worth pushing
