Swedish World Cup striker no longer training with the first team at Club Brugge | OneFootball

As reported by Tomas Taecke of HLN, Gustaf Nilsson and Ludovit Reis are no longer training with the Club Brugge first team. Nilsson, who was a surprise participant in the World Cup with Sweden, signed from Union St Gilloise two seasons ago but has struggled to have any real impact up front for Club Brugge. Reis only joined last summer from Hamburg but, due to injuries, fell out of favour and now it appears that Ivan Leko is wanting to go in a different direction.

The 29-year-old Nilsson not being part of the squad is not surprising. Club Brugge had reportedly tried to sell him last season but were unable to find a buyer or a club that the Swedish striker was willing to join. Nilsson scored 27 goals in 93 games for Union St Gilloise after leaving Wehen Wiesbaden in the summer of 2022. He joined Club Brugge in 2024 but has only scored 11 goals in 53 games. After playing 42 games in his first season, Nilsson only played 11 games last season, failing to score.

Reis, a former Barcelona academy product, left Hamburg after 129 appearances and 20 goals. He only played 12 games for club Brugge last season. There will certainly be teams in Germany that will be happy to bring the 26-year-old central midfielder back to the Bundesliga or 2 Bundesliga.
