Club Brugge star Antonio Nusa reveals turning down astonishing Chelsea offer

Club Brugge sensation, Antonio Nusa, has confirmed that he turned down a substantial offer from Chelsea during the recent summer transfer window. Despite the reported €30 million bid from Chelsea to acquire the 18-year-old’s services, Nusa disclosed that he was surprised by the offer but had already decided to stay with Club Brugge before the season began.

Reflecting on the situation, Nusa shared his experience with HLN (via Sport Witness): “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.”

He continued, “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 that despite the tempting offer, staying with Club Brugge for another year was always the plan. Even with the winter transfer window approaching, he affirmed that the initial plan to continue with the club remains unchanged.
