Christian Burgess: Union Saint-Gilloise Contract Extension
La Dernière Heure reports that Union has held initial talks with Christian Burgess regarding a contract extension, though there is currently no agreement. Burgess stated that he has honestly not thought about it himself, as he plays to win the title and cup, not for a new contract, adding that the rest will follow naturally. He also said that if a contract does not come, he will still be happy and proud of the journey they have made together. Burgess emphasized that he is happy at Union and is not convinced a club would be willing to offer enough money to convince him and his wife to leave Brussels. He acknowledged that while everyone has a price, it would have to be a lot of money. He has received offers in the past, but they were not enough to cause a major change in his and his family's life.
