Het Nieuwsblad reported that Leko is not including Jorne Spileers in the squad following a difficult week and is allowing transfer matters to settle. This decision comes after Club Brugge rejected an offer of approximately three million from the promoted club Elversberg. The rejection was reportedly very difficult for the 21-year-old player.

Bundesliga newcomers SV Elversberg made a bid of around 2.7 million euros for Jorne Spileers, but Club Brugge rejected the offer. The player had wanted the transfer and is reportedly unhappy with the situation, despite being expected to become the fourth-choice defender. Spileers' contract with Club Brugge is valid until June 2028, and his market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €3.00m.
