Parma are being linked with a move for RSC Anderlecht’s DR Congo‑Belgian attacking midfielder Mario Stroeykens, 21, in a deal that could hinge on his contractual status in Brussels.
Stroeykens, who plays as a right‑footed attacking midfielder and wears No 29 for Anderlecht, is being monitored by the Serie A side according to transfer listings dated 24 June 2026. His contractual situation is unclear, with no public expiry date recorded, prompting speculation that Parma could try to exploit the possibility of the youngster running down his deal or even edging towards free‑agent territory if an extension is not agreed.
The Belgium‑born playmaker, valued at €4.50m on Transfermarkt, has emerged from Anderlecht’s ranks to establish himself in the Jupiler Pro League. Standing at 1.77m and comfortable operating between the lines, he is viewed in Italy as a technically sharp option who could add creativity and mobility to Parma’s midfield if a transfer is pursued.
No fee or formal probability has yet been reported, with the move currently listed with a “?” likelihood, underlining that discussions remain at the rumour stage rather than an advanced negotiation.
Stroeykens, born in Zellik on 29 September 2004, holds both DR Congo and Belgian nationality and has spent his senior career to date with Anderlecht, featuring in domestic league and cup competitions. Recent data highlights his continued involvement in the first team, though detailed match records, including opponent, date, scoreline and individual contribution, are not disclosed in the latest scrape.
With his market value still modest by Serie A standards and his contract position opaque, Parma’s interest is likely to intensify if there is any indication that Anderlecht are prepared to sell or risk losing him for nothing. A move to Italy’s top flight would represent a significant step in Stroeykens’ career, offering a platform that could elevate both his reputation and long‑term potential if the rumoured transfer ultimately materialises.
