Club Brugge closes in on transfer market signing Matteo Dams
Club Brugge has a replacement for Meijer in sight and is now close to the transfer of Matteo Dams. The defender sees an adventure with blue-black himself also.
The deal is not yet fully in the can and the can, but the chance is real that Dams will be the new left-back of Club Brugge. The talks with Al-Ahli are going in the right direction and Dams sees an adventure with blue-black himself also. Possibly the transfer will come around this week.
About his transfer price is currently little known: the specialized Transfermarkt estimates his value at 3.5 million euros. The adventure of Dams in Saudi Arabia has been on its last legs anyway: Al-Ahli paid in January 2025 still 9 million euros for the defender, but he does not play there anymore.
An opportunity for Club Brugge therefore, that still looked for a backup for first choice Seys. Given the busy calendar - the Champions League is coming again - extra reinforcement on that position is no unnecessary luxury. Around Gustaf Nilsson it remains quiet otherwise. German media reported earlier interest from Hannover and Hertha Berlin from the second Bundesliga, but at Club they have not heard from those teams yet.
Why this is important for Club Brugge
The transfer of Matteo Dams would be an important reinforcement for Club Brugge. The defender has already experience at the highest level and would be a good addition to the current selection.
What comes next?
