Sylla made his debut for Club Brugge as a substitute in a 1–0 home win against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise at the Jan Breydel Stadium on 11 May 2022.[1] On his UEFA Champions League debut on 7 September 2022. he scored the only goal of the game as Club Brugge secured a 1–0 home win against Bayer Leverkusen.[2]
Ahead of the 2022–23 season, Sylla courted mild controversy after he leaked Club Brugge's new home kit a day early in an Instagram post. He blamed himself for getting the dates of the media embargo wrong. He deleted the photo of himself wearing the new kit shortly after posting but the image had already been circulated.[3]
