Considered one of the biggest hopes of Belgian football since the age of 7, Rayane Bounida will not continue his rise with his training club Anderlecht. The club announced via a press release that the player would leave the club at the end of the season despite numerous negotiations to sign his first professional contract. “Despite the sporting path traced, Rayane chooses to continue her training abroad. The club regrets, but respects his decision. The RSCA would like to thank the sports staff and especially all the coaches who have guided Rayane during all these years for their commitment.
Already highly publicized, the 16-year-old midfielder, who has 372,000 subscribers on Instagram, should logically join Ajax Amsterdam at the end of the season while PSG tried everything to bring him back. “The RSCA will continue to invest in these many other talents who are now preparing for a bright future at Neerpede. For them, a sporting path awaits them, which will perhaps lead them to the first team of the RSCA. As our fans expect from our club and our players., concluded the club. According to the Belgian press, Bounida’s entourage asked for a first professional contract at 700k per year, an astronomical amount that Anderlecht did not want to offer their 16-year-old colt.
Rayane Bounida will leave RSC Anderlecht at the end of this season. Bonne chance pour la suite Rayane.
