Anderlecht sporting director Peter Verbeke has announced they want to buy Manchester City striker Lukas Nmecha.

Nmecha has been outstanding on-loan with Anderlecht this season, though the deal doesn't include a permanent option.

Verbeke told Het Nieuwsblad: “We will do everything we can to buy Nmecha within our financial framework.

“Lukas likes to be here, wants stability and can play in Europe here. He is surrounded by love and can develop here in peace.

"The player has a say in his future and maybe we can negotiate a good price with City. But it is not in our hands. If a club comes around the corner with a 15 million offer, we have no chance."
