Club Brugge decides to sign Michy Batshuayi

In light of the disappointing performances of both Ferran Gutgla and Igor Thiago, Club Brugge has been actively searching for a new striker in the upcoming winter transfer window. Given Thiago’s renaissance, the arrival of a new striker is no longer an option, and this would mean a major setback for Michy Batshuayi.

Club Brugge has held talks with Batshuayi

Club Brugge has been exploring the striker market for weeks, both through its own scouting department and with the help of agents. Both permanent conversions and six-month loan deals were seriously considered.

Michy Batshuayi emerged as Club Brugge’s first target last week. Sascha Tavoleri reported in “Wait and seeThat the Red Devil 53 times was in Blauw-Zwart’s interest, and discussions were taking place between the two parties.

But due to the resurgence of Thiago, who has scored a total of five goals in his last three matches against Besiktas, Standard and Zulte Waregem, the arrival of a new striker is no longer a priority at Club Brugge.

This means a major setback for Batshuayi, who wants to leave Fenerbahce in January. He has lost a lot of ground to the Red Devils due to his limited playing time in Turkey, and has been eclipsed by Luis Obinda as the second striker in the reserve role behind regular striker Romelu Lukaku.

Additionally, in addition to playing minutes in preparation for Euro 2024, a return to the Belgian League will also give him the opportunity to be closer to his family and friends.

It is reported that Fenerbahce are also positive about the striker’s departure. On the other hand, Antwerp FC are also monitoring Batshuayi and are said to have carried out cautious explorations and discussions. In addition, Italian club Genoa have also shown interest in the Belgian striker’s arrival.
