“Club Brugge says goodbye to its favorite player”

Club Brugge will be on the training ground for the first time on Monday, but it will likely happen without new players. So far, only Ardon Gashari has been signed, but he is still in Switzerland’s squad for the European Championship. At the moment, players are mainly leaving the national champion.

They have already announced that Eder Balanta’s expiring contract will not be extended, while there is also significant uncertainty over the retention of Denis Odoi. A number of other boys will also leave Jan Breidel Stadium. Another outgoing transfer is in preparation.

Shion Homma is also about to leave. The Japanese club snapped up the 23-year-old from Albirex Niigata for €500,000 two years ago, but he was never able to move on. He primarily played his matches in NXT, playing only seven times for the first team.

Homma will forever have a cult status after his incredible role in last season’s title fight. Thanks to a goal and an assist during his substitute appearance in the final stage of the final in Union, he ensured that Antwerp, rather than the people of Brussels, were finally allowed to lift the championship trophy.

Not Vojvodina, but back to Japan

In recent weeks, Homa has been linked with a move to Serbian side Vojvodina, but he will eventually return to Japan. Local media reported that the player is about to sign with Urawa Red Diamonds, who is not having his best season but may participate in the Club World Cup next year.

Homa still has one year left on his contract with the club, so Urawa are still paying a transfer fee. The entire transition process is scheduled to be completed and officially announced before the end of the month.
