Club Brugge want €35m for Joaquin Seys, FC Porto target | OneFootball

Benfica and FC Porto are among the clubs that have been closely monitoring Joaquin Seys. At 21, the Belgian defender is a regular presence on the left side of Club Brugge’s defense, according to British newspaper The Sun on Monday.

The two historic Portuguese rivals are seen as “the perfect platform” for the young prospect to continue his development. However, they are aware that a deal is far from easy, as the current Belgian runners-up will only be willing to negotiate the player’s transfer for a fee close to €35 million.

In addition, Benfica and FC Porto face competition from clubs with greater financial power. That is the case with Arsenal, who have already spent around €160 million in this summer transfer window, including on the signing of Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge.

Manchester United have also reportedly sought information about the left-back, while Aston Villa continue to look for a ‘new face’ for the defensive flanks. The English club recently sold Lucas Digne to Paris Saint-Germain for approximately €10 million and will face the French side next Wednesday in the UEFA Super Cup.

Joaquin Seys has also been watched by Newcastle, especially during the most recent World Cup, in which he helped his Belgium reach the quarter-finals. The national team would eventually be eliminated by Spain, 2-1, before they went on to win the title. Even so, the English club have not yet made any offer to ‘pry’ the player away.
