Club Brugge remained remarkably quiet at the winter mercato. With only one incoming transfer, there seemed to be little movement, but behind the scenes, Blue-Black did encounter top interest.
Club Brugge kept it particularly quiet this winter mercato. Only Félix Lemaréchal was recruited while Kaye Furo left for Brentford FC for a nice sum.
Zaid Romero was in turn loaned to Spanish side Getafe. Barring any major surprises, there will be no more transfers for the people of Bruges. The transfer market closes on Monday night.
Club cashed to a limited extent this winter, but it could have looked completely different. There was no shortage of interest. The most striking thing that happened was a monster bid for Joel Ordonez.
Monster bid rejected by blue-black
The central defender is of interest to several Premier League clubs, who also wanted to go far. According to Het Laatste Nieuws, Crystal Palace made an offer “estimated to be at least 40 million euros.”

An incredible offer, which Blue-Black still refused. The fact that Club strongmen are not allowed to leave during the winter was once again emphasized this year. Will the people of Bruges be able to sell Ordonez for a similar amount next summer?
