Market7 Sep 2026

Terms done: Ivan Pavlić is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Giugliano waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Union SG is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Union SG make their move for Josué Homawoo

$4.7M on the table at Standard Liege. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market7 Sep 2026

Mohammed Fuseini asks to leave Union SG

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Window shuts: 2 in, 7 out at Union SG

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 2 arrived, 7 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Standard Liege tell Union SG: Ibe Hautekiet is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Too dear: Union SG walk away from Bryan Soumaré

$1.6M was the most the club would pay and RAAL La Louviere were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Union SG go back to the board over Josué Homawoo

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $5.0M — a club that wants Josué Homawoo enough to be asked twice.

Squad7 Sep 2026

No place for Pep Biel in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Union SG are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Union SG

Ivan Pavlić and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

In brief

  • Squad 9 new faces, and Union SG are still learning each other
  • Squad Words at Union SG training over how hard people work
  • Looking ahead A reunion for Rob Schoofs

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Ousseynou Niang

Successful dribbles: 42. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Kjell Scherpen decides it from twelve yards

2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match26 Aug 2026

Cup progress for Union SG

A 0‑0 win over Seraing, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market31 Aug 2026

Union SG spend $9.9M to raise the standard

This is not cover and nobody is pretending it is. $9.9M has been paid because Pep Biel is straightforwardly better than what was already here, and the club has decided to stop waiting.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

A $4.8M sale, and a town that did not want it

Raul Florucz has gone, the accounts have $4.8M in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Market31 Aug 2026

Business is business: Raul Florucz goes

Hannover 96 paid $4.8M and Union SG took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Market31 Aug 2026

Promise David puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Union SG, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Door shut on Matthieu Epolo

Union SG asked and Standard Liege said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market31 Aug 2026

Union SG turn down Cukaricki for Ivan Pavlić

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

In brief

  • Match 4 matches without a win for Union SG
  • The terraces Union SG spend $9.9M on the signing the town wanted
  • Match 3 matches without a goal for Union SG
