Majeed Ashimeru has been linked with a move from RSC Anderlecht to Jupiler Pro League rivals Genk, with the Ghanaian midfielder’s future in Brussels increasingly uncertain.
Transfermarkt lists the 28-year-old’s current market value at €700,000 and records his status at Anderlecht without a clear contract end date, raising the prospect he could become a free agent if no agreement is reached. The rumour, logged on 10 December 2025 with an unspecified probability, suggests Genk are monitoring the central midfielder as a potential low-cost option. No fee or formal talks are detailed in the data.
Ashimeru, born in Accra on 10 October 1997, has been with Anderlecht since an initial loan from Red Bull Salzburg in January 2021, later turning the move permanent that summer. His role in midfield has varied over recent seasons as his market value has steadily declined from the €3m peak he reached during his Salzburg days to the €700k now quoted.
The Ghana international’s path to Brussels has taken in several European leagues. After leaving West African Football Academy in Ghana for Salzburg in 2017, he had loan spells at SC Austria Lustenau and Wolfsberger AC in Austria before moving to FC St Gallen 1879 in Switzerland, where his performances first pushed his value beyond €1m. A subsequent return to Salzburg preceded his switch to Anderlecht and regular exposure in Belgium’s top flight.
At 1.74m and right-footed, Ashimeru is listed primarily as a central midfielder, a profile that would fit Genk’s preference for technically capable players who can operate in tight spaces. With no contract expiry date publicly available and a modest valuation, the data points to a potentially flexible deal structure, whether a low-fee transfer or a move later on as a free agent.
If the Genk interest develops into something more concrete, a switch within Belgium could offer Ashimeru a fresh platform to revive his value and reassert himself as a key figure in the Jupiler Pro League.
