At the age of 37, everyone is aware that Simon Mignoletโs time at Club Brugge will be coming to an end soon. The goalkeeper has been a fantastic servant for the club since joining from Liverpool back in 2019. He has gone on to play over 300 games for Club Brugge and has won four Pro League titles and one domestic cup. However, according to HLN, Mignolet could be on the move this summer. In his place, Club Brugge are reportedly eyeing up former Belgian international goalkeeper Koen Casteels.
Casteels certainly wonโt come cheap. He is said to be earning โฌ10m a year with his current club ย Al-Qadsiah. There is no way that Club Brugge would consider spending that much on the former Wolfsburg goalkeeper, but any return to Europe would require Casteels to take a pay cut. It has not yet been reported whether or not the 33-year-old is even interested in a return to Europe and Club Brugge. However, it is understandable why the side are looking at someone like Casteels to replace a leader in Mignolet.
With his contract up this summer, it does appear that we are seeing the final few months of Mingolet in a Club Brugge shirt. The goalkeeper has shown remarkable longevity on the pitch, with a few injuries here and there keeping him out of action, the former Liverpool and Sunderland man has not allowed his performance levels to drop. If he does leave Club Brugge in the summer, he has to go down as one of the sides greatest goalkeepers after what he has achieved.
