Gent Hub
Gent sells Hugo Cuypers to Chicago Fire for 12 million euros. The top scorer from last season leaves the Buffalo's after a successful period.
What happened?
Hugo Cuypers joined Gent in the summer of 2022 and scored 51 goals in 90 games. The player from Liege was disappointed that Gent did not cooperate with a transfer last summer, but now he leaves for Chicago Fire.
Why is this important for Gent?
Gent receives 12 million euros for the transfer of Cuypers, but also has to pay a resale commission to KV Mechelen and Olympiakos Piraeus. This is an important decision for the future of the club.
What comes next?
Gent now has to look for a new top scorer to compensate for the departure of Cuypers. The club is currently in 5th place in the competition, with 29 points from 40 games.
