Biancone's Return to Belgium
The 26-year-old center-back chose Anderlecht despite competing transfer interest from French vice-champions RC Lens.
This move marks a return to Belgium for Biancone, who previously spent two seasons on loan at Cercle Brugge from AS Monaco between 2019 and 2021.
Following his initial stint in the Jupiler Pro League, Biancone transferred to Troyes before securing a €10 million move to English Premier League club Nottingham Forest.
