Belgian central midfielder Aster Vranckx, 23, is set to return to VfL Wolfsburg from a loan spell at Sassuolo that involved limited playing time and has been described as difficult. His contract at VfL Wolfsburg runs until mid-2029, and his return has led to speculation that a Belgian top club might attempt to sign him. Club Brugge is mentioned as a possible destination, alongside Anderlecht, KRC Genk, and Union SG. It was also reported that Club Brugge, Anderlecht, and KRC Genk were interested in Vranckx before his €8 million transfer from KV Mechelen to Wolfsburg. Vranckx, a Belgian international with 9 caps, has made 15 appearances in Serie A this season. His current market value is €7.00m. In September 2024, Italian media reported that an agreement was in place for Fiorentina to pay €12 million. His current loan to Sassuolo reportedly included a €1 million fee and a purchase option of €9 million in August 2025.
