Headline: Rangers Receive Inquiry from Club Brugge Regarding Tuur Rommens
In a significant development, Rangers have attracted attention from Belgian club Club Brugge, as reported by Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri. The Belgian side has reached out to the Scottish club to inquire about Tuur Rommens and the specifics of a potential deal.
At this point, no formal bid has been submitted. Instead, Club Brugge has merely made an inquiry, although the interest appears to be serious and could intensify if Joaquin Seys departs from Jan Breydel.
Rommens, who is 23 years old, joined Rangers from Westerlo in January for approximately £3 million, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract that extends until 2029. However, he has recently been out of action due to a groin injury, sidelining him for up to eight weeks.
Rommens has registered one goal and one assist in 26 appearances for both Westerlo and Rangers during the 2025/26 season. He managed to feature in 14 matches in the Scottish Premiership, contributing one goal and three assists.
Looking ahead, his performance early in the 2026/27 season is crucial for Rangers. He was a starter in the opening matches, including Europa League qualifiers, before suffering his injury. Parting ways with Rommens now would leave manager Derek McInnes without a player he quickly came to trust on the left flank.
From a financial standpoint, Rangers invested around £3 million only seven months ago, and with Rommens contracted until June 2029, selling him at this juncture might not be wise. His injury could lower his immediate market value, making this an inopportune moment to cash in. It might be better to retain him, allow rehabilitation to take its course, and then assess his marketability from a stronger position.
As for Club Brugge, they may be poised to make a significant investment, particularly given that Seys could potentially command around £30 million, with interest from Premier League clubs adding to Brugge’s financial capability. However, Rangers should view Rommens as a valuable asset and not a budget-friendly option.
If Club Brugge makes an initial approach, Rangers should respond with a firm refusal. Should Brugge eventually increase their offer beyond £8 million to £10 million, the Rangers board will need to weigh the sporting implications against potential profit. Accepting anything less could be hard to justify given Rommens’ short tenure, especially with McInnes focusing on building a competitive side for the Scottish Premiership title. While Rommens is currently injured, this should not compel Rangers to become eager sellers.
Rangers have received transfer attention from Club Brugge, with Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri reporting that the Belgian side has contacted the Scottish club to ask about Tuur Rommens and the terms.
No formal bid has arrived at this stage. Club Brugge have made an enquiry, rather than placed an offer, yet the interest appears genuine and could grow if Joaquin Seys leaves Jan Breydel.

T4O take: Rangers should keep the Belgian

Rommens has scored one goal and one assist across 26 appearances for Westerlo and Rangers in 2025/26, while he made 14 appearances in the Scottish Premiership with one goal and three assists.

Even so, his early 2026/27 involvement matters more for Rangers. He started every opening match, including Europa League qualifiers, before the groin injury struck. Selling now would leave Derek McInnes without a player he had quickly trusted on the left.
There’s a financial argument too. Rangers paid roughly £3m only seven months ago, and Rommens remains tied down until June 2029. His injury may depress his immediate value, making this a poor moment to cash in. Hold him, let rehabilitation run its course, then judge the market from a stronger position.
Rangers should set a high price
Club Brugge can afford to test Rangers because Seys could command around £30m, with Premier League clubs reportedly interested in the 21-year-old. That gives the Belgian club scope to spend, but Rangers should refuse to make Rommens the cheap solution.

An opening approach should meet a firm refusal. If Brugge eventually push beyond £8m-£10m, the board can debate the sporting cost against profit. Anything below that looks difficult to justify after such a short stay, particularly with McInnes trying to build a side capable of competing for the Scottish Premiership title. Rommens is injured, but that still shouldn’t turn Rangers into motivated sellers.
