After a season that was expected to be difficult for a long time, Club Brugge still had a great end to the season. Although the white smoke is still looming, Nicky Hayen should remain at the helm of the team. In his locker room, on the other hand, many changes are imminent.
The Blauw and Zwart already announced a few months ago the departure of Igor Thiago, who will join Brenftord for a record amount of 37 million. With a new ticket for the Champions League and the tickets that accompany it, Bruges’ bank account, already full, will be well stocked again.
5 great talents
There is no shortage of means, which means that there is no need to sell for the sake of selling. However, in Thiago’s wake, a few other executives are also likely to leave. It is almost certain that Raphael Onyedika, for whom Ardon Jashari has already been recruited as a replacement, will look elsewhere.
Furthermore, according to several media outlets, Andreas Skov Olsen, Joel Ordonez and Maxim De Cuyper can also count on concrete interest, while Antonio Nusa is still in the crosshairs of several top foreign clubs. Even FC Barcelona would have their sights set on Norwegian talent.
2 doubtful cases
The box will therefore be able to ring again in Westkapelle. But there is little chance that the new management, which would then have enough money to look for replacements, will let them all go. “There is no question of turning it into a dovecote this summer,” says the newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws.
The newspaper further notes that Casper Nielsen and Philip Zinckernagel are also on the list of possible departures, if an appropriate sum of money is put on the table.
3 exiles
Dedryck Boyata and Roman Yaremchuk, who the club would prefer to get rid of permanently, could well be on the list. Éder Balanta’s contract will not be renewed, Denis Odoi could stay on board. Finally, we do not yet know Ferran Jutglà’s plans, but he is also eligible for a transfer.
