Transfer market: Deportivo La Coruña moves to revive Anthony Musaba

The summer transfer window could offer a new challenge for Anthony Musaba. According to journalist George Tsarouchas, Deportivo La Coruña, freshly promoted to La Liga, is interested in the Congolese and Dutch winger from Fenerbahçe. The Spanish club has reportedly already met with the player's representatives and is seriously considering taking action to strengthen its attacking options.

The situation remains open, however, as several Championship sides are also monitoring the 25-year-old striker. At Fenerbahçe, Musaba is no longer in the club's plans, with management looking to free up spots to comply with foreign player quotas. His departure has thus become a top priority as the transfer window draws to a close.

A career shaped across several leagues

Born in the Netherlands and a Congolese international, Anthony Musaba came up through the ranks at NEC Nijmegen before joining AS Monaco in 2020. Unable to break through on the Rock, he went out on multiple loans to gain valuable playing time, notably at Cercle Brugge, SC Heerenveen, and FC Metz.

It was ultimately in England, wearing the colors of Sheffield Wednesday, that the winger found consistency. His performances in the Championship caught the eye of Fenerbahçe, who signed him during the 2026 winter transfer window.

A mixed season in Turkey

The second half of Musaba's season in Turkey, however, failed to live up to expectations. Used sporadically in a highly competitive squad, he was unable to establish himself as an undisputed starter.

During the 2025-2026 campaign, the Congolese winger made 18 appearances in all competitions for Fenerbahçe, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists. These modest statistics stand in stark contrast to his spell in the Championship, where his pace, directness, and one-on-one ability made him one of Sheffield Wednesday's most dangerous attacking threats.

An opportunity to bounce back in La Liga

For Deportivo La Coruña, signing Musaba would be an intriguing gamble. The Galician club is on the lookout for profiles who can bring depth and speed to help secure their La Liga survival.

If negotiations come to fruition, Anthony Musaba would be embarking on his fifth major European league after stints in the Netherlands, France, Belgium, England, and Turkey. This new chapter could finally allow the Congolese international to kickstart a career so far defined by frequent moves and untapped potential.
