Yann Liénard, Monaco's third goalkeeper, is likely to be loaned to Cercle Bruges for the season, as the Belgian club seeks a backup for Gaëtan Coucke. The move would allow the 23-year-old, who has not yet played for Monaco's first team, to find playing time. Monaco has set a condition for the transfer, requiring Liénard to extend his contract before departing because he is in the final year of his current deal. The club's aim is to secure his future before letting him gain experience elsewhere. This is consistent with the established partnership that has Cercle Bruges serve as a development platform for Monaco's young players. The French goalkeeper, who joined Monaco in July 2023, has 8 caps for the France U20 team. His current market value is €100k, according to Transfermarkt. The Polish club Lechia Gdańsk has also been associated with the player.
