JAKARTA - Mees Hilgers' efforts to move to Ligue 1 club, Stade Brest, failed to take place. Delays ahead of the medical test are the main cause.

Before the transfer market closed, Brest had actually reached an agreement with FC Twenty to recruit Hilgers. The transfer scheme is a one-season loan with a permanent purchase option.

Reporting from De Telegraaf, Hilgers is just one step away from following in Calvin Verdok's footsteps in the highest level French league competition. His efforts to move have been supported by the completion of the documents and even just have to sign a contract.

However, the transfer was canceled because Hilgers did not have enough time to do a medical test as a condition before signing the contract. This medical test process cannot be carried out because the deadline for the transfer market in France is closed on Monday, September 1, 2025, at 20.00 local time.

"The document business was completed on time, but there wasn't enough time to complete the medical test, as required by the French Football Association (FFF)."

"That way, transfers cannot be continued. Transfer windows in France are closed on Monday night at 20.00," wrote De Telegraaf, quoted Tuesday, September 2, 2025.

The cancellation of this transfer has limited new club options that Hilgers can strengthen. Hilgers can still move to fellow Eredivisie clubs because the transfer market in the Netherlands will only be closed on Tuesday, September 2, 2025.

In addition, there is also an alternative to moving to a Turkish club that has a transfer deadline on September 12, 2025 or Saudi Arabia which ends on September 10, 2025.
