In recent days, the rumor mill at Club Brugge has been running at full speed. Both incoming and outgoing sides were teeming with rumors about possible deals. But at the Belfius Basecamp they would now have made the decision.
According to The Latest News in The Newspaper After all, Club’s mercato is over. Blauw-Zwart had hoped for the arrival of Andreas Schjelderup in recent days, but the Norwegian winger was ultimately not allowed to leave Benfica. Unless there is a huge opportunity, Club will no longer explore other avenues.

But there still appeared to be a lot of movement, especially on the outgoing side. In recent days, it became known that Wolfsburg was pulling on Raphael Onyedika’s sleeve. The Germans ultimately had just over 20 million euros for auction, but Club brushed that aside and managed to convince their strongman to stay until the summer.
However, Onyedika appears not to be the only strongman who has been sought after in recent days. Club also appears to have refused significant offers for Joel Ordoñez and Christos Tzolis. Crystal Palace had auctioned at least 40 million euros for the first, while another bid around 35 million came in for Tzolis.
100 million euros refused
HNB also reports that Club also refused an offer of 15 million euros for Nicolo Tresoldi, while Jesse Bisiwu was also close to leaving. The 18-year-old top talent was linked to FC Barcelona, but it was another club that was still close to his arrival. Club could also have secured the necessary millions for him.
But Club rejected all those offers and left around 100 million euros behind. At Blauw-Zwart they want to continue with the current core, which only received one reinforcement with Felix Lemaréchal.
