Anderlecht open to Ndiaye loan extension with Schalke

The Senegalese full-back was a mainstay in Schalke's defence last season but fears rose after it seemed unlikely that the Royal Blues would be able to keep him.

Moussa Ndiaye was one of the success stories of FC Schalke 04's season, impressing while helping the club return to the Bundesliga. 

With his parent club RSC Anderlecht reportedly demanding a significant transfer fee, it seemed unlikely that Ndiaye would stay.

However, as reported by Sky Germany, the Belgian club is now making a significant concession to the Bundesliga side.

The pay-TV broadcaster speculates that this could be related to Schalke's rumored interest in Robin Gosens, who plays the same position.

According to reports, Anderlecht is offering the Gelsenkirchen based club another loan deal for the 24-year-old Senegalese player.

The deal is also said to include an option to buy despite Anderlecht previously demanding between €3-5million in total.

A sum that is utopian immediately after promotion, but could be significantly more realistic next year should Schalke stay up.
