Yanko Beeckham views the 26-year-old Belgian midfielder Charles Vanhoutte as an ideal fit for Club Brugge, while Thomas Chatelle has reportedly heard rumors to that effect. Nevertheless, there is currently no specific interest from Club Brugge in Vanhoutte. The club is well-stocked in the positions Vanhoutte plays, but a vacancy could occur if Raphael Onyedika leaves. Club Brugge has made significant investments in new players, with spending reaching 36 million euros on recent signings, while player sales have amounted to 81.70 million euros. The club needs to address a financial shortfall in the absence of Champions League revenue and could achieve a financially prosperous year if they qualify. Vanhoutte, capable of playing as a six or eight, would only become a target if Onyedika departs, which might lead Club Brugge to pursue a player who can immediately fill the gap. Vanhoutte's contract with Union Saint-Gilloise is valid until June 30, 2027, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €6.00m.
