Anderlecht are concerned about consistent media speculation regarding the future of young sensation Jérémy Doku amid widespread interests from Liverpool and Newcastle United.
The 18-year-old prodigy has been a subject of intense conjecture in the media following a breakthrough season with the Belgian giants.
Newcastle United is the latest English club to be linked with the in-demand youngster after Liverpool made an attempt to sign him last season.
Senior figures at Anderlecht are worried the constant media speculation could impact his time at the club.
Doku is one of the top talents of Belgian football and has been likened to the celebrated Real Madrid ace Eden Hazard.
The Purple and White are concerned the constant transfer news could run his head.
There have been talks of a 25 million euros for his signature which is a huge amount for a boy of his age.
There are fears within the Anderlecht ranks that they could be forced to sell him if the demand for him skyrocket.
Clubs with huge financial muscle could force the Purple and White to let one of their new season go.
