Voetbalnieuws.be reports that Dante Vanzeir did not join the training camp due to an impending transfer. The attacker is strongly associated with a loan to Cercle Brugge, and there are ongoing negotiations regarding this move. A decision is expected soon.

Het Nieuwsblad reports that AA Gent and Cercle Brugge are negotiating a loan deal for Dante Vanzeir, with an agreement expected to be reached. AA Gent wants to remove the attacker's salary from their wage bill, as he was signed a year ago under previous management and has played infrequently under the new management. Cercle Brugge requires more goals and could offer Vanzeir a key role. Last summer, KVC Westerlo also attempted to sign him, but the two clubs did not reach a financial agreement. Stefan Smet also states that Cercle is interested in the 27-year-old, that talks about a loan are well underway, and that the player does not appear to play often under Rik De Mil. The Belgian international, who has one cap for his country, has a contract with Gent until June 2028 and has made five appearances in the Jupiler Pro League without scoring this season. His market value on Transfermarkt is currently €2.00m.
