Cercle Brugge is set to sign ex-Union and Standard player Lazare Amani. According to various reports in Africa, Amani is close to returning to the Jupiler Pro League. The Ivorian midfielder would be on the verge of an agreement with Cercle Brugge. Only the final details and a medical check-up would separate the transfer from an official confirmation. For Cercle, it would not be a spectacular transfer, but one that perfectly fits what the club needs today. Amani brings experience, maturity, and a solid dose of Belgian competitive knowledge. These are qualities that Cercle missed in difficult moments last season. The 28-year-old midfielder built a strong reputation in Belgium. After stints at Eupen and Charleroi, he broke through at Union Saint-Gilloise, where he became a key player in the Brussel-based team's successful years. With his work rate, mobility, and tactical discipline, he was one of the players who shaped the Union story. Subsequently, he had a less successful period. Amani moved to Standard, but could not leave his mark there. He then chose an adventure in Greek Kifisia, where he accumulated playing minutes, without really being in the spotlight. Now, a return to Belgium beckons. And maybe it will come at the right time for both parties. Cercle Brugge is looking for players who can join immediately and help the group grow. Amani does not need to learn what the Jupiler Pro League entails. He knows the rhythm, intensity, and expectations. If the final formalities are completed, he could sign a two-season contract in Brugge.
