Saliba, 21, had one goal and one assist in 16 MLS matches (15 starts) this season, his third with Montreal.
His deal with the Belgian Pro League powerhouse came with a reported $3 million transfer fee.
"We are very proud of Nathan's progression over the last few years," said Montreal managing director Luca Saputo.
"Despite his young age, he has established himself as a starter and leader on the team, which has also allowed him to earn a spot with the national team. He began his career with us at the academy and is now fulfilling his dream of playing in Europe. On behalf of the club, I would like to thank Nathan for his contribution over the years."
Saliba recorded two goals and two assists in 68 career appearances (53 starts) with Montreal.
He will see a familiar face at Anderlecht with sporting director Olivier Renard, who worked in the Montreal front office from 2019-24.
