Anderlecht Targets Schalke’s Justin Heekeren as No. 2 Replacement as Schalke Moves for Kevin Müller Loan

Reports point to active negotiations that could swap a winter fee for Schalke’s depth in goal.

Overview

  • Belgian outlet Nieuwsblad linked Anderlecht with Justin Heekeren to cover a potential exit of backup Mads Kikkenborg to Molde FK.
  • WAZ reported that Anderlecht and Heekeren have been in contact, though no agreement has been reached.
  • Sky said Schalke are in advanced talks to loan Kevin Müller from Heidenheim until season’s end, with only final details reportedly outstanding.
  • Heidenheim executive Holger Sanwald signaled willingness to let Müller leave if terms fit, and HSV interest has also been reported.
  • Heekeren has zero league minutes this season after starting 29 times last year, and a winter move could bring Schalke a modest fee before his deal expires in the summer.
