Who is Joaquin Seys? Club Brugge left-back attracting interest from Man United
Seys is one of Manchester United’s targets for the January window.
In order to improve their defensive alternatives and acquire a long-term left-back, Manchester United have kept a close eye on Club Brugge left-back Joaquin Seys.
Seys, a 21-year-old Belgian defender, is seen by United scouts as a high-potential, affordable target from Europe rather than overpaying for Premier League alternatives. They have kept a close eye on him until late 2026.
Given possibilities like Luke Shaw and younger prospects in the team, United’s interest is in line with their quest for long-term depth and competition at left-back.
Club Brugge have been hesitant to let go. Seys himself acknowledged that no significant move occurred during previous transfer windows because he stayed loyal to Club Brugge.
