A move to Club Brugge is not an option for Arthur Vermeeren, a 21-year-old Belgian defensive midfielder who is seeking a new club as Olympique Marseille does not intend to extend his loan period. A return to the Jupiler Pro League is reportedly not being considered, and his former club Antwerp finds him too expensive. Even on a loan basis, only a few Belgian clubs could afford him. Although financially healthy teams with guaranteed European income such as Union SG and Club Brugge are mentioned in this context, such a move is not a possibility.

Vermeeren, whose contract with parent club RB Leipzig runs until June 2029, is expected to choose another club abroad, where there is said to be some interest, and clubs such as Inter and Tottenham Hotspur have recently been linked. The Belgium U21 international has 11 caps and 1 goal, and his current market value is €22.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
