Having always started against Fiorentina and Union, Nicky Hayne is also likely to have a starting place for Denis Odoi against Anderlecht. The question is therefore whether Club Brugge should extend the expiring contract of the 35-year-old goalkeeper.
Having played rarely under Ronny Deila, Odoi has once again proven his value to Blau Zwart since the change of coach. On Sunday at Lotto Park, he may be favored at right-back over Kyranny Sapp, who is suffering from a minor injury.
End of contract with the club
In midfield, the Ghanaian international balances with Hugo Vetelsen and Kasper Nielsen. Thanks to his versatility, Odoi remains a particularly useful pawn who, as an experienced leader, also plays an important role in the dressing room.
However, after scoring three goals and one assist in 91 matches, it is not certain that the collaboration will be extended. At the moment, there have been no discussions about the possibility of further cooperation.
Odoi does not want to retire
The Brugge Board of Directors prefers to wait until the entire season is over before starting any negotiations. Until then, all options remain open, including an extended stay at Jan Breidel. Odoi might have to give up his salary.
It is fixed according to The newspaper In any case, the old man is not yet thinking of resigning. It has been suggested here and there that he would hang up his boots and take up another position at Westcapelli, but Odoi still feels he is a good fit for it.
Another position in Bruges?
So we will have to wait and see whether he signs again for Brugge or will look elsewhere for more playing minutes in his old age. He hopes to be in the spotlight in the coming weeks. If not to your current employer, then to potential candidates next summer.
