Philip Zinckernagel has already departed from Club Brugge to join Chicago Fire, with Club Brugge receiving nearly 1 million euro for the transfer. Zinckernagel's exit represents a notable move for Club Brugge as they aim to offload surplus players during a busy transfer window. His move to Chicago Fire was part of the club's strategy to streamline the squad, following unsuccessful loan spells and the club's decision to part ways with players considered non-essential. This transfer is in line with Club Brugge's ongoing efforts to manage their player roster efficiently by finding solutions for players who no longer fit into their plans.
