Club Brugge could be an interesting option for Arthur Vermeeren, who left Antwerp too early for Atlético Madrid. Vermeeren hardly played at Atlético Madrid and ended up at RB Leipzig, where things didn't quite go as planned. At Olympique Marseille, it also didn't go well, and now a return to Belgium seems like a possible option. Christos Tzolis is an example of a player who, after a difficult period at Norwich City and FC Twente, is now 'hot stuff' on the international transfer market. A return to the Premier League, with a club like Manchester United or Arsenal, is looming. Arthur Vermeeren left too early for Atlético Madrid and hardly played. He ended up at RB Leipzig, where things didn't quite go as planned. At Olympique Marseille, it also didn't go well. The numbers speak for themselves: 66 games at Antwerp FC, 5 games at Atlético Madrid, 39 games at RB Leipzig, and 26 games at Olympique Marseille. Rudi Garcia left Vermeeren out of the World Cup 2026 squad, just like Domenico Tedesco left Hans Vanaken out. Other clubs, such as Lazio, Tottenham Hotspur, and Inter, might also be thinking of Vermeeren. Taking a step back doesn't have to be a bad move, as Christos Tzolis has shown. Club Brugge saw Aleksandar Stankovic return to Inter and must also consider the departure of Raphael Onyedika. There are many playing opportunities to be had. A training center to die for, a team that goes for the prizes, a new adventure in the Champions League. Vermeeren would also be able to play under the wings of experienced players like Brandon Mechele and Hans Vanaken. That's a nice bonus for a 21-year-old player. Vermeeren loves Antwerp FC, but the rivalry with Club Brugge is big. Some of his former club's fans might hold it against him. But wasn't it Antwerp that wanted to cash in on Vermeeren too early? He now has to make the right choice to get his player career back on track.
