Maxim De Cuyper attracted attention from clubs like Wolfsburg, Bremen, and Galatasaray last summer. Nevertheless, he chose to extend his contract with Club Brugge until 2028, focusing on his development and aiming for a future move to a top club through Champions League exposure. Although there was considerable interest from multiple clubs, the right offers did not materialize. In an interview with Het Laatste Nieuws, De Cuyper mentioned that numerous discussions took place during the summer transfer window, requiring him to consider offers from certain clubs. He ultimately resolved to remain at Club Brugge, intending to perform well for another year and leverage the Champions League as a springboard for a potential transfer next summer.
