Cameron Puertas has likely played his last game for Union SG. The Spanish-Swiss midfielder did not train again yesterday and will not play against Charleroi tonight.
So the European match against Slavia Prague was his last for the people of Brussels. Despite previous interest from German side Borussia Mönchengladbach, the Premier League seems to be his next destination.
according to The newspaper He already has an agreement with an English club, although it is not Ipswich Town. The English club would be willing to pay the €15 million he is asking for, but Union are hoping for a higher offer.
In addition to the English interest, Puertas is also keeping the alternatives open. There is a concrete offer from the Saudi league on the table, while clubs from the Italian league and the German league have also shown serious interest.
The €15m transfer fee that Union could receive is much higher than the amount the club paid Lausanne for Puertas a year and a half ago. At that time it was only €1.5m.
For Puertas, a move to the Premier League would mean the next step in his career. It remains to be seen which club will ultimately complete the deal, but it seems certain that his future lies outside Belgium.
