Officially! Red Bull Salzburg sign Ignace Van der Brempt
Now it’s fixed: Red Bull Salzburg have signed Ignace Van der Brempt from FC Brugge. The Belgian is expected to sign until June 2026.
Van der Brempt, who can play on the right in defence, in the center of defense and as a right winger, has made a total of 20 appearances for Club Brugge this season. The Salzburg team will wear number two in the future. The transfer fee should be five million euros.
“In Ignace Van der Brempt we have brought a young, very talented player to Salzburg who, despite his young age, can already show a few appearances in the Champions League and the Jupiler Pro League. He has developed very well at Club Brugge in recent years and worked his way up from the juniors to the first team. The current Belgian U21 team player has all the prerequisites and fits perfectly into our requirement profile,” says sporting director Christoph Freund.
Van der Brempt also says about the transfer: “I’m really looking forward to my new club. For me this is the perfect next step in my career and I am sure that I can develop very well here. I’m a player with a lot of energy, speed and high aggressiveness in duels. I also think that goes very well with the football that is played at FC Red Bull Salzburg. I’m sure I’ll need a little time to find my way around here. But I have a good feeling and I will achieve a lot.”
