FC Porto moved for 15-year-old Bolampete, but he stayed at Club Brugge | OneFootball

FC Porto showed interest in Keyon Bolampete, a 15-year-old centre-back from Club Brugge, but the player ultimately chose to remain with the Belgian club.

According to information available in Belgium, the Porto club had even offered to cover the player’s travel to Portugal, with the aim of holding face-to-face talks about a possible next step in his development. Even so, Bolampete decided to stay at Club Brugge, where he is seen as one of the most promising defenders of his generation.

Originally from the Namur region, the young youth international currently represents Club Brugge’s under-15 team. The Belgian club has been working to retain the player and recently moved forward with the signing of his first professional contract, a clear sign of the confidence placed in his potential.

Competition for Keyon Bolampete has been notable, with several clubs keeping a close eye on the centre-back’s progress. Despite that interest, the Club Brugge structure managed to convince the player to continue his path at the Jan Breydel, backing the continuity of his internal development.

From FC Porto’s side, the interest confirms the club’s constant attention to the international youth market, particularly to profiles with room for progression and strong competitive potential. At this stage, however, Bolampete will remain tied to Belgian football.
