While he celebrated his 16th birthday last Thursday, Rayane Bounida can sign his first pro contract wherever he wants. But as expected, it will not be at Anderlecht, the club that trained him. The young man from Brussels announced his departure from Sporting in a video posted on his social networks.
It begins first with an ode to the city of his heart: “Brussels, what a city! Full of different languages and cultures. The city of small and big monuments but also the home of Mauves and so many good players. But above all my home. This place is fantastic and my blood is purple”, begins Bounida before announcing that he will leave Anderlecht, “To take flight, sometimes you have to leave the nest. And now is the time for me to take flight.”
In the end of the video, the Mauve youngster explains that he will always keep the people who helped him at Anderlecht in his heart: “I take a part of you with me wherever I go. See you next time!”he concludes his message.
If he has not yet officially communicated on his future destination, it is more than likely that it will be Ajax Amsterdam.
