According to BILD, Club Brugge is one of the clubs closely monitoring the situation of Elias Benkara. Benkara's contract with Borussia Dortmund expires in the summer of 2026. Contract negotiations are ongoing between Borussia Dortmund and Benkara, but an agreement has not yet been reached. BILD reported that Benkara was disappointed because his proximity to the first team did not result in genuine opportunities. Transfermarkt states his market value is €50,000, while FootballTransfers estimates his Estimated Transfer Value to be between €0.2 million and €0.4 million. The actual price will be determined primarily by his contract situation. If he completes his contract, a club could sign him without a transfer fee, although training compensation fees may apply for international transfers of young players under FIFA and UEFA rules.

Club Brugge is interested in Elias Benkara and faces competition from Anderlecht and Eintracht Frankfurt. Benkara, an 18-year-old central defender, will be available on a free transfer as his contract with Borussia Dortmund expires at the end of this season. It is reported that Borussia Dortmund wants to extend his contract. Benkara, however, is looking for more prospects of playing time, and it is thought that the Belgian clubs are in a better position to offer this. The player has primarily featured for Dortmund's reserves but has been included in the first-team squad.
