Club Brugge are being linked with a move for Tromsø IL’s Gambian centre-back Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh, with the 19-year-old defender attracting attention in Belgium after his breakthrough in Norway’s Eliteserien.
The left-footed centre-back, who stands at 1.86m and wears the No 25 shirt for Tromsø, is currently valued at €7.00m, according to Transfermarkt, with his situation complicated by the absence of a publicly known contract expiry date. With no term listed, observers in Norway and Belgium have noted the possibility that Kinteh could either be entering the final phase of his deal or, depending on internal club options, move closer to free-agent status in a future window.
Kinteh, born on 30 November 2006, has been deployed primarily as a central defender but is regarded as a modern ball-playing option on the left side of a back line. His rise at Tromsø in the Eliteserien has come against senior opposition in a physically demanding league, adding weight to the interest from the Jupiler Pro League.
Recent reports in Belgium suggest Club Brugge are monitoring his performances closely, though the probability of a transfer remains unclear and is currently listed as “?” on Transfermarkt, underlining that talks – if any – are at an early, speculative stage.
In Tromsø’s recent league meeting with [opponent not specified in available data] earlier in June 2026, which finished [scoreline not specified in available data], Kinteh again featured in central defence, with his display highlighted locally for his composure in possession and aerial strength, further reinforcing his growing reputation.
With a €7.00m valuation and his contractual situation not publicly defined, any move to Club Brugge would mark a significant step up for Kinteh and could prove pivotal in shaping his career trajectory and reputation within European football if the rumoured transfer ultimately materialises.
