Ghanaian midfielder Majeed Ashimeru, currently under contract with Belgian club Anderlecht for one more year, is facing a pivotal moment in his career.

Despite a history of injuries, the 26-year-old could be in line for a contract extension, marking a significant shift in strategy for Belgian club Anderlecht.

Three years ago, Anderlecht invested one and a half million euros to secure Majeed Ashimeru from RB Salzburg. Since then, he has contributed 8 goals and 5 assists in 106 matches, demonstrating his unique playing style that focuses on direct and vertical football.

Anderlecht's sporting director, Jesper Fredberg, acknowledged Majeed Ashimeru's potential in May, stating, "Majeed has something special that few other players have." However, Fredberg also highlighted the midfielder's need for improved availability, given his frequent injury-related absences.

As Majeed Ashimeru's current contract approaches its final year, the club is closely monitoring his injury situation. According to Transfermarkt, the Ghanaian's current market value stands at 2,000,000 euros.
