Swansea City have confirmed the departure of Wales winger Cameron Congreve to Belgian top-flight side Westerlo for a seven-figure fee. The 22-year-old academy graduate impressed during loan spells at Dundee and Bromley, earning his first senior international caps this summer.
What happened?
Cameron Congreve, who joined Swansea at under-nine level, will leave the Championship club after making 19 senior appearances. His form at Dundee last season (three goals in 36 games) and Bromley in 2024-25 (six goals in 47 games) caught the eye of Westerlo. The deal includes add-ons, a sell-on clause, and a buy-back option for Swansea.
Why it matters for Swansea City
The sale comes after Swansea finished 11th in the Championship last season with 64 points (18W-10D-18L). Congreve’s exit follows Liam Cullen’s move to Leicester City, as the Swans reshuffle their squad ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. The club will retain financial upside through the sell-on clause and buy-back option.
What comes next?
Swansea will now focus on reinforcing their squad after scoring 57 goals and conceding 59 in 2025-26. With 31 points separating them from leaders Coventry, manager Russell Martin will look to add depth to compete in the upcoming season.
