However, he chose Anderlecht after first team assurances were offered, whereas Barca wanted him to spend the season with Barca Atletic.
He said, “It’s really exciting to be here. I was fascinated by the sporting project.
“I’m really looking forward to making my mark at this beautiful club.”
Mendel-Idowu has penned a deal to 2026 with Anderlecht – which includes a further 12 month option.
