Club Brugge puts Romain Esse transfer on hold temporarily

Club Brugge has temporarily put Romain Esse transfer on hold. That's according to Sacha Tavolieri. Crystal Palace would have positively reacted to the latest offer from Blauw-Zwart on Wednesday evening, but the Bruggelingen have decided not to finalize the deal temporarily. The club wants to focus on outgoing transfers first.

Why is this important for Club Brugge?

The transfer of Romain Esse was an important deal for Club Brugge. The English winger had a successful period at Coventry City, where he became champion in the English second division. Now it seems that the Bruggelingen have other priorities.

What happens next?

Club Brugge wants to focus on outgoing transfers first. So Björn Meijer left for Sampdoria on Thursday. The Bruggelingen want to focus on such outgoing transfers before the arrival of Esse is picked up again. Who those outgoing transfers will be will become clear in the coming weeks.
