Club Brugge started their season last weekend with a defeat in the Super Cup against Union SG. But there is a good chance that the selection will be further modified in the coming weeks. For example, some strong players could still leave, and Antonio Nusa has also been mentioned as a reason.
The Norwegian international is naturally one of the most talented players in Brugge’s squad. His talent has been known abroad for some time. A year ago, for example, Chelsea were willing to pay around €30m for him. Then Bart Verhaeghe vetoed the deal, as the chairman believed Nossa would be worth more in the long run.
A few months later, Verhaeghe seemed to be right too. This time it was Brentford who made the move for the technically gifted striker. According to various sources, the Bees had to sell for around €36 million at auction to get Nossa. His move seemed almost done at the end of January, until an unexpected turn suddenly followed.
Failed medical tests
During a medical at Brentford, a piece of floating cartilage was discovered. Working with the Norwegian FA’s medical staff, Nossa and Klopp were quickly able to establish that it was nothing serious and could be easily treated. But by then the damage had already been done. The transfer was finally cancelled and those failed medical tests still haunt him.
Since then, Nossa has struggled to hit the ground running. Furthermore, other interested clubs are showing more restraint. The Norwegian is even at risk of missing out on a new transfer due to similar issues. According to the sun And English transport watchdog Alan Nixon says Crystal Palace now also have doubts about Noosa.
Extend your stay at the club?
The English saw Michael Olise’s move to Bayern Munich and were looking at Nossa as a possible successor. But the above sources now indicate that the London club has serious reservations about Nossa’s medical and physical fitness. Especially since the Norwegian still costs a lot of money and people do not want to risk that kind of investment. So it is increasingly looking like his future at Club Brugge will be short-term. There he will have to prove to other teams on the pitch that he is at his best.
