According to Voetbalnieuws.be, Ilian Temperman, a 19-year-old striker, has completed a transfer from KV Kortrijk to their regional counterpart Cercle Brugge. Temperman had a contract with Kortrijk until 2028, which he signed in December after making his debut for the first team. This was his only appearance as a substitute in the Challenger Pro League. His eight goals in 26 matches for the U21s convinced Cercle Brugge to offer him a contract until 2028, with an option for an additional season. He will initially join Jong Cercle, which plays in the Eerste Nationale. Cercle's technical director, Luciano Murchio, stated that Temperman is considered to be of immediate value for Jong Cercle with the potential to grow within the club's structure, adding that his versatility in attack and mentality are compatible with the club's philosophy. The transfer was confirmed via the club's official channels on July 22, 2026.
