WHAT HAPPENED?

Carlos Forbs, 21, passed his medical in Belgium on Wednesday. This completed the deal between Club Brugge and Ajax. The Dutch club will get about €6 million plus €1.2 million in bonuses. Teams in England, Italy, and Scotland showed interest in Forbs. But he picked Club Brugge for the team’s plans and more playing time. The deal has a clause that pays Ajax if Forbs is sold later. He struggled for minutes last season at Ajax and on loan at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

CLUB BRUGGE’S AMBITION AND FORBS’ FRESH START

Club Brugge’s recent spending shows they want to recover from a tough 2024/25 season. Brugge finished second in the Belgian Pro League, just two points from the title

A previous report confirmed that Club Brugge finished second in the Belgian Pro League last season.

They are eager to win the championship and improve their squad for local and European games. Forbs, once bought by Ajax for €14 million from Manchester City, brings speed and creativity. After a hard year, he needs to turn his potential into performance.

WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR FORBS AND CLUB BRUGGE?

With Forbs signed and fit, he should join the team soon for preseason. Club Brugge plays their first Belgian Pro League match this weekend against Sint-Truiden, who finished mid-table last season. Brugge is seen as a major contender this year but will face strong opponents like champions Union Saint-Gilloise and runners-up Anderlecht. Forbs’ arrival gives manager Ronny Deila more attack options. The club aims to catch the leaders quickly and compete in many areas.
