Club Brugge’s Christos Tzolis admits temptation of Manchester United move | OneFootball

Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis has talked up the possibility of a move to Manchester United.

The 24-year-old Greek international is at the centre of an intensifying summer transfer battle, with United and Arsenal reportedly monitoring him.

Reflecting on his rapid rise after a stunning campaign in which he registered 21 goals and 28 assists across all competitions, Tzolis acknowledged that his calculated approach not to leave last summer paid off.

“Staying for another year was the best decision I could have made last season,” Tzolis revealed. “My next step would have to be a Champions League team from England, Germany, Spain or Italy.”

Tzolis did not hesitate to name United as a destination he would find difficult to turn down.

“United could convince me,” he added. “Such a massive club with so much history. It would be hard to say no to that.”

The winger’s candid admissions come at a time of euphoria for Brugge. Tzolis recently scored a crucial goal to secure a 2-2 draw at KV Mechelen, officially sealing their 20th Belgian league title.

However, his latest comments suggest his time in Belgium may be nearing its end.

A return to England would mark a full-circle moment for Tzolis, whose initial Premier League spell with Norwich City in 2021 failed to showcase his potential.

Following impressive stints at Fortuna Dusseldorf and Brugge, he has matured into a different calibre of attacker.

Brugge are reportedly demanding a fee well in excess of £32.5 million, a sum that would break the league’s domestic transfer record.
