What happened: Club Brugge have settled individual terms with Genk winger Noah Adedeji-Sternberg, who is pushing for the switch to the reigning Belgian champions. The two clubs have yet to agree a fee, and the 21-year-old is reported to be training apart from Genk's first team as pre-season begins.
Why it matters: Genk are reluctant to sell a quick, direct wide player they had built their attacking plans around, and his contract running to 2028 gives them the leverage to demand a substantial fee. With personal terms done, the standoff now hinges entirely on the price between the two sides, leaving the deal stalled until the clubs find common ground.
By the numbers: Adedeji-Sternberg broke through in 2024/25 with five goals and four assists across 38 appearances. This past campaign he featured in 36 matches, contributing one goal and two assists.
What to watch: Watch whether Genk and Club Brugge can bridge the valuation gap, and how long the winger remains separated from the first-team group.
