The 31-year-old Nielsen, who is still under contract in the Jan Breydel Stadium for another year, barely arrived last season. A departure is therefore emerging. According to various sources, the Dane has already had a personal agreement with Standard. But the negotiations between the two clubs were stuck for a long time.
Club Brugge wants to get a transfer fee despite the expiring commitment of Nielsen. As a result, the Rouches could not meet the financial requirements of the vice champion from the Jupiler Pro League for a long time.
Nielsen performs the pressure
According to transfer experts Sacha Tavolieri, Nielsen has now won the cow with the horns. The former player of Union SG went to the sporting leadership of Club Brugge to make his desire to a transition to Standard clear again. And with success: the Bruges door seems to be again ajar for the people of Liège.
Club now seems more willing to think along, possibly even in a construction where a limited transfer fee is linked to bonuses. A breakthrough in the file could follow in the coming days.
