Anderlecht manager Besnik Hasi has confirmed that experienced midfielder Mats Rits is on the verge of leaving the club, with a move to Dutch side NAC Breda expected to be finalized shortly.
The 32-year-old Belgian, known for his composure and tactical intelligence in midfield, is set to bring his extensive top-flight experience to the Eredivisie after spending the last chapter of his career in the Jupiler Pro League. Hasi acknowledged the impending transfer during a media session, stating that Rits’ official departure would be announced “in a short while.”
Rits, who joined Anderlecht in 2022, has served as a stabilizing presence in the heart of midfield, often playing a key leadership role both on and off the pitch. Despite recent limited game time due to injury and increasing competition for places, he remained a respected figure in the dressing room.
“Mats has been a true professional during his time here,” Hasi said. “His attitude and leadership have always been valuable. This move will give him a fresh challenge, and we wish him the very best at NAC Breda.”
NAC Breda, looking to strengthen their midfield with experience and versatility, are expected to announce Rits as their newest signing in the coming days. The move could be crucial in their push for a stronger league finish this season.
Rits’ departure signals another step in Anderlecht’s evolving squad rebuild, with the club increasingly focused on developing younger talents.
As the official announcement looms, fans of both clubs will be watching closely to see how this transfer impacts their respective campaigns.
