Carlos Forbs

Carlos Forbs of Club Brugge was born in Sintra, Portugal on 19 March 2004 (age 22).

Carlos Forbs is a Portuguese right winger, born on 19 March 2004 (age 22), now with Club Brugge. Compact at 5ft 7in (1.69m), he is not the type to win much on presence alone, so his value has to come from movement, direct running and end product.

His 2025-26 league season at Club Brugge has been his most productive so far, with three goals in 27 appearances. He has remained a regular first-team presence, reaching 50 appearances and 11 goals in all competitions, including nine Champions League appearances with two goals and 10 Pro League Play Offs games with five goals.

Transfermarkt values him at around £7m. At this stage, Forbs is an established young professional rather than a finished article, but his season at Club Brugge has kept him involved often enough to matter.

Forbs is 22, plays as a right winger for Club Brugge, is Portuguese, and carries a €8.00m market value. His path has already taken him from Manchester City to Ajax, Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan, and Club Brugge, which points to an early career built around high-upside moves and quick reassessment rather than long spells at one club.
