Sparta Rotterdam are being linked with a move for KV Mechelen central midfielder Noah Makanza, with the 21-year-old’s future uncertain amid the possibility he could become a free agent.
The Eredivisie side have emerged as suitors for the DR Congo‑Belgium dual national, according to transfer data listing a mooted switch from the Belgian Pro League club to Sparta Rotterdam with the probability of the move currently marked as “?”.
Makanza, born in Jette on 14 January 2005, is valued at around €400,000 and operates primarily as a central midfielder, favouring his right foot. Standing at 1.77m, he is registered as wearing the No 26 shirt at Dutch side Helmond Sport, where he is currently listed as playing, though his contract details and expiry date are not specified, leaving scope for speculation over a future free‑agent status or a low-cost deal.
The midfielder has experience in both Belgian and Dutch football structures, with KV Mechelen linked as his outgoing club in the latest transfer rumours and Sparta Rotterdam named as the potential destination in the Eredivisie. His market valuation of €400k is likely to appeal to Sparta as they weigh up affordable options for bolstering their midfield.
Recent data does not provide full match-by-match statistics, but Makanza has been involved for Helmond Sport in the current campaign, featuring in central midfield as the Eerste Divisie side continue their season. No specific opponent, date or scoreline is listed in the available records, and there is no official indication from either club that a deal is close.
With his contractual situation unclear and his value still relatively modest, a move to Sparta Rotterdam – whether via transfer or as a future free agent – could represent an important next step in Makanza’s development and offer him a platform to enhance his reputation in a top-flight European league.
