Cercle Brugge have announced that Dante Vanzeir is joining the club on loan from KAA Gent until the end of the season. The club also has a purchase option for the player. Dante Vanzeir expressed that he is happy to join Cercle Brugge and stated that the ambition within the club appealed to him. He mentioned that he wants to help the team with goals, assists, and his experience, and that he felt positive about the choice for Cercle Brugge from the start.

According to Het Laatste Nieuws, negotiations for Dante Vanzeir to join Cercle Brugge are nearing completion. The publication reports the loan deal is almost complete with only a few details remaining, that Vanzeir will be loaned to Cercle Brugge until the end of the season, and that it is not yet clarified whether a purchase option is included. Het Laatste Nieuws also states that AA Gent's primary motivation was Vanzeir's high salary, while Cercle Brugge has an urgent need for goals. According to Het Nieuwsblad, once the deal is finalized, Vanzeir will join the team at their training camp in Portugal. Cercle Brugge will cover part of his salary, and Gent will pay a portion.

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.
