Noah Mbamba, a Belgian youth international and former Club Brugge talent, is unexpectedly returning to the Jupiler Pro League. He is set to join Dender in order to secure more playing time and will be integrated into Vincent Euvrard's squad for the remainder of the season. The transfer was completed at the conclusion of the winter transfer window. Although Mbamba was on loan at Hoffenheim earlier this season, participating in six matches, he is now transferring to Dender to demonstrate his abilities at the highest level. His market value is estimated at two million euros, and he remains under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until June 2028.
