Club Brugge’s teenage sensation, Antonio Nusa, has disclosed his decision to turn down a substantial offer from Chelsea during the last summer transfer window, shedding light on the surprising turn of events.
Nusa, who was heavily linked with a move to the prestigious English club, recently confirmed the remarkable €30 million bid that Chelsea tabled for the 18-year-old’s signature.
In a candid revelation to HLN (as reported by Sport Witness), Nusa expressed his astonishment at the turn of events, sharing, “We had a match, Osasuna at home, I think. I knew about their (Chelsea’s) interest, but I was not informed about the offer. After the match, I turned on my phone and the messages kept coming. The news had leaked. I was shocked, but we had decided much earlier to stay in Bruges anyway.”
The talented young footballer further elaborated on his mindset, stating, “It surprised me too. I thought, ‘Wow, that is a lot of money.’ However, we had known for some time what we would do, so it didn’t cause me much stress. You think about it, but all in all, I remained calm.”
Nusa emphasized his unwavering commitment to his current club, remarking, “Honestly, I never thought for a moment: ‘Maybe I will do it.’ Another year at the club was the plan anyway. Even now this winter, you never know what will happen, but that plan has remained unchanged.”
The revelation of Nusa’s resolute stance in the face of a tempting offer offers a compelling insight into his dedication to Club Brugge, solidifying his standing as a rising star with unwavering loyalty.
