Austrian Bundesliga side LASK are being linked with a move for DR Congo‑Belgium midfielder Noah Makanza, with the 21-year-old rumoured to be on the radar as a potential low-cost addition from KV Mechelen.
The central midfielder, currently valued at €400,000 on Transfermarkt, is listed as moving from Belgian top-flight club KV Mechelen to LASK in the latest transfer speculation. The probability of the move is recorded as “?”, underlining that talks remain at an early, unconfirmed stage.
Makanza is on the books of Dutch side Helmond Sport, where he wears the number 26 shirt and features primarily as a right-footed central midfielder. Born in Jette on 14 January 2005 and standing at 1.77m, he holds dual nationality with DR Congo and Belgium, making him an intriguing prospect for clubs tracking emerging talents with international flexibility.
With his contract details not specified and no expiry date listed, there is also the possibility that Makanza could become a free agent, which would further fuel interest from suitors such as LASK looking to find value in the market. The combination of a relatively modest market value and his age makes him a potentially attractive option for sides planning longer-term squad building.
Recent data lists his current market value at €400,000, a figure that would typically place him in the bracket of a developmental signing rather than an immediate marquee arrival. No detailed competitive match statistics or specific recent fixtures have been confirmed in the latest update, but his role as a central midfielder suggests he is being monitored for his contribution in build-up play and transitional phases.
If a move to LASK does materialise, it could provide Makanza with a significant platform in the Austrian Bundesliga to accelerate his development and shape the next phase of his career.
