What happened?
The club announced that the player’s departure is final and that contract extension talks were not possible. Over his time at Cercle Brugge, he made 187 official appearances, scoring 23 goals and providing 19 assists. His exit marks the end of a long chapter where he was not only a key performer but also a fan favorite.

Why it matters for Cercle Brugge
The club currently sits second in the Jupiler Pro League with 38 points from 33 games, but the focus now shifts to the future without this fan favorite. His departure leaves a void in attack and among the supporters, who have seen him as one of the most loyal players over the years. Cercle Brugge must act fast to fill the gap before the new season kicks off.
This season, the club scored 48 goals while conceding 50, resulting in a goal difference of -2. With a home fixture against Charleroi scheduled for 13 February 2027, Cercle Brugge has work to do to stay ahead of the competition.
