Royale Union Saint-Gilloise has engaged in several roster movements involving both contract extensions and new signings.

The club first announced extensions for captain Kevin Mac Allister, who signed until mid-2031, and forward Kevin Rodriguez, who extended his stay until 2029. Following these extensions, the club completed the signing of 21-year-old German defender Dennis Egel from FC Astoria Walldorf. Egel signed a contract until 2028 and will initially join the club’s U23 squad in the Eerste Nationale division as part of the team’s data-driven scouting and development strategy.

On the pitch, Union Saint-Gilloise maintained strong form in the Jupiler Pro League, securing a 3-0 victory over RSC Anderlecht in the Brussels derby. Analyst Peter Vandenbempt noted the team’s “impressive tempo and midfield strength” despite recent player departures. However, defender Kevin Mac Allister faces a potential suspension after receiving yellow cards in his first four league matches.
