Cercle Brugge showed interest in signing Liam De Smet. Lenn De Smet had discussions with Rembert Vromant, the technical director of Cercle Brugge, and their scout. However, after Vromant's dismissal, no further communication occurred, and the transfer did not materialize. Instead, Liam and his brother Lenn, who were also considering options in the Jupiler Pro League and the Eredivisie, ultimately decided to join KV Kortrijk, a family club with a large fan base, in the Challenger Pro League. They are ambitious about helping Kortrijk achieve promotion to the highest level.
