Despite the successes in recent weeks, Club Brugge is in danger of losing several players next summer. Antonio Nusa’s departure was also written in the stars for a long time. But now his transfer file took a new turn.
During the first transfer period after the final departure of CEO Vincent Mannaert, the new sporting bosses will have to get to work straight away. For example, some strong holders will probably need to be replaced. A new striker is already needed. As is known, Igor Thiago moves to the English Brentford FC for a lot of money.
However, there are more boys who have been linked with a summer departure. Not least Nusa. For the same money, the Norwegian golden boy even had his transfer in mind. In August, Club reportedly refused a million-dollar offer from Chelsea FC. And during the past winter mercato there was of course the soap opera with Brentford.
Failed medical trials
Nusa was about to sign with the future employer of his teammate Thiago in January. At club level there was also an agreement on a transfer fee that could reportedly amount to as much as 37 million euros. The 18-year-old attacker even traveled to England for his medical and physical tests. But that just resulted in a hitch.
For example, the English doctors discovered a growth lesion around the cartilage of the knee, after which the deal was put on hold. However, with the help of the Norwegian association, Club was able to prove that this was by no means an insurmountable problem. But Nusa had already had enough by then. The Norwegian and his entourage decided to permanently pull the plug on the Brentford deal.
Extra year in Bruges
Since then, the youngster has been going through a difficult period. First he was sidelined for a while with physical problems. Now that he is fit again, the attacker is looking in vain for his best form. And this setback is not without consequences. Bee The newspapaer people know that an extended stay in Bruges has suddenly become a realistic option again.
If a club comes along that wants to invest heavily in him, Blauw-Zwart can still change tack. But the people of Bruges have no intention of lowering the generous asking price. Nusa seems to be preparing for an extra season in Bruges. Hopefully he can then fully realize his undeniable potential.
