Union Saint-Gilloise will do everything it can to end its wonderful season in a dreamlike way. It has already brought in three formidable reinforcements this winter, with Cameron Puertas as the most recent addition. For him, Union was even willing to break her transfer record.
The PhD student and frontrunner in the Jupiler Pro League sent the official confirmation of the arrival of Puertas to the world on Saturday morning. For the 23-year-old Spanish midfielder, it did not look like a euro more or less. According to Transfermarkt Union has transferred 1.16 million euros to the bank account of Lausanne Sport, now the ex-club of Puertas. Never before have the inhabitants of Brussels spent more on one player.
The fact that Union is breaking its own transfer record only signifies the ambitions within the club. After the unprecedented 2021 farming year, it also wants to reap the benefits in the new year. Union previously brought in two promising mercenaries with Kacper Kozlowski and Koki Machida. It should be clear that owner Tony Bloom is financially strong enough to make life miserable for the other Belgian top clubs.
