Friedberg wants to make a blockbuster move to Anderlecht due to interest in Bayern Munich’s Daniel Peretz. The 23-year-old Israeli goalkeeper, known for his cat-like reflexes and specialist penalty kick, has received little playing time at the German club so far.
Anderlecht want to sign Peretz to give him more experience, while also developing their young goalkeepers. Peretz is even referred to as the Israeli Manuel Neuer due to his talent, athleticism and football ability.
Schmeichel out? Anderlecht is looking for a new number one
Kasper Schmeichel’s choice to join Anderlecht last summer was aimed at retaining his first place in the European Championship with Denmark.
The 37-year-old goalkeeper brings character, leadership and courage that will be invaluable to Sporting. Despite his crucial role and influence on the team, Schmeichel only earns a modest salary of €250,000 a year, making him one of the lowest-paid players in the dressing room.
With his contract expiring at the end of June, Schmeichel’s future at Anderlecht remains uncertain. While there is an option to extend his deal, sources like… The last hour And The newspaper It is very realistic for the goalkeeper to continue his career elsewhere.
The decision will depend largely on the clubs that present themselves after the European Championship.
Anderlecht are already responding proactively due to renewed interest in Roma’s Jayden Owusu-Oduro (AZ AZ Alkmaar). Interestingly, Daniel Peretz is now also in the picture for the RSCA.
The 23-year-old Israeli player, who plays for Bayern Munich this season, was signed from Maccabi Tel Aviv last summer for €5 million.
Daniel Peretz (Bayern Munich) is looking for minutes to play
Daniel Peretz has so far struggled to assert himself in the German superpower. Since his arrival he has played only once, in a cup match against third division club Preussen Munster.
He currently ranks third in the pecking order behind Manuel Neuer and Sven Ulreich. A temporary move to Anderlecht could be a welcome opportunity for Peretz to gain more playing time and experience.
Anderlecht appear to be seriously interested, and have reportedly already sat at the table with Bayern several times. Negotiations are reportedly still ongoing, with the aim of reaching a lease without an option to purchase.
Renting the talented goalkeeper could be a smart move for Anderlecht. It allows them to give Peretz a chance to show his potential, while at the same time developing Mads Keckenborg and/or Timon Vanhoutte as their starting goalkeepers for the future.
Through a temporary transition period, Anderlecht can give themselves some breathing room and take the time to determine the best strategy for the goalkeeping position.
Anderlecht wanted Peretz last summer: “Mokoko gave him nightmares”
Last year, Bayern Munich faced a major challenge after Manuel Neuer broke his leg while skiing, forcing him to search for a new goalkeeper.
In their search, they promoted Sven Ulreich to first choice goalkeeper and signed Daniel Peretz from Maccabi Haifa for a €5 million fee, despite interest from clubs such as… Anderlecht.
Bayern CEO Jan Christian Driessen praised Peretz’s move, saying: “With Daniel Peretz, we are very well equipped in our goal-defending team in terms of expectations – both for this season and for the future.”
“Daniel is a goalkeeper with great potential. In his younger years he has proven his skills not only at national level but also in international competitions.”
Although Peretz may not have been a big name, he had left a good impression in Germany. His performance at the 2023 European Under-21 Championship, where he saved two penalty kicks and was awarded the Man of the Match, made him a household name on the international football circuit.
His exploits gave players like Youssoufa Moukoko and Gesek Ngankam nightmares.
Peretz is Bayern’s only fourth man next season?
Bayern couldn’t wait to bring Daniel Peretz to Munich last summer. According to The Athletic, they sent a private plane – something unusual in Israeli football – to fly him, his family and his girlfriend to the Bavarian capital.
Negotiations between the clubs were somewhat tense, especially regarding compensation.
There had been much controversy in the previous days, and Peretz even suggested giving up part of his “modest” bonus-based salary, which started at €1.5m a year, in order to reach an agreement.
In the end, Bayern and Maccabi agreed on an amount of 5 million euros.
For now, Peretz is still stuck in the third goalkeeper position, and Alexander Nubel should not be forgotten, despite his current loan to Stuttgart after extending his contract with Bayern Munich.
Peretz is open to a loan move, but Bayern are reluctant to give the option to buy as they still believe in the Israeli goalkeeper’s potential.
