Napoli targets Union midfielder Zorgane in Brussels
Napoli has shown interest in Union SG midfielder Adem Zorgane, who is under contract until mid‑2030 and is currently valued at twelve million euros. The Italian club joins English teams that have already scouted him.
Zorgane's role at Union SG
Since his arrival from Sporting Charleroi, the midfielder has become the metronome in the Brussels side's midfield. With his composure under pressure and excellent ball handling, he has become a crucial piece for coach David Hubert. His presence has given Union SG a stable build‑up play.
Union SG's negotiating position
Union SG is in a strong negotiating position because Zorgane has a contract until mid‑2030. According to rumours, the club would like to put amounts between twenty and twenty‑five million euros on the negotiating table. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at twelve million euros, placing him among the top players in the Jupiler Pro League.
English clubs have already scouted
Ipswich Town, Southampton and Middlesbrough have already scouted the player intensively and wanted to bring him in last summer. Those three clubs were at the time in the race for promotion to the Premier League and were looking for reinforcements. A deal did not materialise then.
Future interest from England
It is being speculated whether, in the coming winter and, at the latest, the coming summer, further strong attempts from England will arise to steer Zorgane to the other side of the Channel. English interest remains despite the failure of earlier negotiations.
Napoli joins the chase
reports that also Napoli on the coast is eyeing the Union SG midfielder. The Italian top‑flight club sees Zorgane as a potential reinforcement for their midfield. Napoli’s interest increases the pressure on Union SG to make a decision.
Union SG seeks a successor
Union SG must first find a possible successor before they consider selling the player. The club also has to take into account the impact on their playing style at the Dudenpark. Finding a suitable replacement remains a crucial challenge.
The contrast between the growing international interest and Union SG’s own ambitions shows that Zorgane’s future is still uncertain. The coming months will determine whether the Brussels side retain the player or achieve a lucrative transfer.
