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.

Christian Burgess is open to leaving Union SG after his contract ends this season. At 33, he is interested in pursuing a move to Serie A, where his age might not be seen as a hindrance, especially since he would be available on a free transfer. Burgess has previously showcased his skills in European competitions, making him an attractive option for Italian clubs.

Christian Burgess had uncertainty about his future at Union SG due to an expiring contract. However, according to Het Nieuwsblad, his contract was quietly extended as Union SG automatically exercised the option in his contract. The English central defender will therefore stay for another year at Dudenpark.
