Noah Adedeji-Sternberg to Club Brugge

Quiet since 1 August 2026. Last report: Sacha Tavolieri. Probability when it went quiet: 14%.

Club Brugge are pushing to land Noah Adedeji-Sternberg from Genk, and the mood around the deal has shifted in the last few days.

Brugge need to close the gap between what they want to pay and Genk's €10m valuation, roughly double the player's market value, while also seeing off Ajax's interest.

Watch for the fresh round of talks between Brugge and Genk that Tavolieri says is coming, and fo
