Standard Liège summer transfer activity

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, Standard Liège moved quickly to replace winger Rafiki Saïd after his €9 million sale to Wolverhampton Wanderers. The club entered advanced talks to sign 23‑year‑old Gambian winger Salieu Drammeh from Lillestrøm SK for an estimated €2.5‑€2.6 million.

By early August, the club adopted a more measured approach. While weighing options such as a potential loan for 19‑year‑old Marius Broholm from Lille, sporting director Marc Wilmots clarified the club’s firm stance against player loans. Addressing interest from Lazio regarding defender Ibe Hautekiet, Wilmots stated, “There is no question of loaning out our players. If they leave, it will be for a reasonable price that pleases Standard.”

Regarding other squad members, the club made a final contract offer to defender Marlon Fossey following his recovery from hamstring issues, though Wilmots noted, “I want him to stay, but he must want to stay himself.” Additionally, the club remains open to discussing the transfer of goalkeeper Mathieu Epolo if an attractive offer is made.

In mid-August, the club secured French midfielder Alexis Trouillet from Rodez for approximately €350,000, a move Trouillet attributed to the club’s sporting project and connection with supporters. However, Standard Liège lost out on Czech player Lukas Ambros to RSC Anderlecht; despite Standard having a €3 million agreement in place, Anderlecht secured the player with a €5 million offer.
