Club Brugge is on the verge of closing their summer transfer window with the expected arrival of Romain Esse. The English winger, currently under contract with Crystal Palace, is set to join blauw-zwart this week. Club Brugge has already signed six new players, including Sommer, Virgili, Potts, Vasovic, Lee, and Tsawa, for an investment of nearly 43 million euros. If the transfer of Esse goes through, that amount will rise to 55 million euros. League standing: 2nd in Jupiler Pro League, 3 pts, 1W-0D-0L from 1 games, recent form W.
What does this mean for Club Brugge?
The financial balance of Club Brugge still looks positive. Players such as Tzolis, Stankovic, Onyedika, Romero, Campbell, Sandra, Bisiwu, and Musuayi have brought in over 91 million euros. Even if Esse arrives, Club Brugge will still have around 36 million euros left. The seventh summer transfer will likely be the last, unless there are more departures.
Who stays and who leaves?
Key players like Tresoldi, Siquet, Vermant, and Spileers are staying with Club Brugge, despite interest from other clubs. Seys, who is linked to Manchester United and Arsenal, is also staying with blauw-zwart. The biggest question mark remains Ordonez, whose foot fracture is hindering a transfer. Reis and Nilsson are allowed to leave and are currently looking for a new club. Meijer has permission to start a new chapter.
What's next?
Club Brugge is almost done with their summer transfer window. The arrival of Romain Esse could be the last major transfer. The club looks forward to the Champions League and their next match against KVC Westerlo (away, 2027-02-13).
