Club Brugge has made an initial bid of €11 million for AZ's Peer Koopmeiners, but the Dutch club considers the offer insufficient. The 26-year-old midfielder wants to move to Belgium, but AZ is holding out for €15 million. Club Brugge, which finished second in the Jupiler Pro League last season with 38 points from 32 games, sees Koopmeiners as a key addition to their midfield.
What happened?
Club Brugge submitted a first bid for Peer Koopmeiners, but AZ rejected the €11 million (including bonuses). The midfielder played 50 games for AZ last season, scoring four goals and providing three assists. Koopmeiners has a contract until 2028 but is eager to join Brugge. According to Voetbal International, it’s only a matter of time before Club Brugge returns with a higher offer.
Why is Koopmeiners important for Club Brugge?
Club Brugge views Koopmeiners as a crucial player to strengthen their midfield. The Belgian champions, who scored 65 goals and conceded 39 last season, aim to improve further. With Koopmeiners, they would add an experienced midfielder who played a key role at AZ last season. The club is 1 point behind league leaders Union St. Gilloise and is preparing for the new campaign.
What’s next?
AZ is demanding €15 million, while Club Brugge started with €11 million. FootballTransfers values Koopmeiners at €9.9 million, but AZ wants more. Club Brugge is expected to return with an improved offer. Their next match is on February 13, 2027, away against KVC Westerlo.
