Club Brugge ends the calendar year in second place, in the Pro League, and almost qualified for the 1/16 finals of the Champions League. What will happen in 2025 in Venice of the North?
Last summer, Club Brugge experienced a costly but successful transfer window. Christos Tzolis has already proven himself and will bring added value in the future, while Gustaf Nilsson and Ardon Jashari are also part of Nicky Hayen’s plans.
This is, on the other hand, not really the case for Zaid Romero. The 25-year-old Argentine central defender was nevertheless recruited for… 6 million euros at Estudiantes La Plata.
However, since his arrival, Romero has only appeared ten times in the Blauw & Zwart jersey in all competitions. He started in the Super Cup and in the first two league matches, but after that his playing time dropped drastically. He has, in total, 683 minutes of play.
Could Zaid Romero leave Club Brugge on loan?
On the bench throughout the European campaign, for the benefit of the Ordonez-Mechele duo, Zaid Romero does not yet know if his future will be written in Venice of the North. A few weeks ago, the Brazilian media Lucky Sportsrevealed that Gremio wanted to recruit him on loan. In Argentina, Boca Juniors are also said to be monitoring him. Its price is already estimated at only five million euros, one million less than its purchase price. And it could continue to fall.
Joel Ordonez is expected to leave next summer, which would leave room for Romero in central defense. THE Newspaper recently indicated that few movements should take place in January, since Bruges still have to play two league phase matches, in C1, and new players cannot be added until then. A departure of a superfluous player, on the other hand, cannot be ruled out.
