Yann Lienard, who was the third goalkeeper for Monaco's first team over the past three seasons and played in one official match, has joined Cercle Brugge on loan. Cercle Brugge's technical director Luciano Murchio stated that they are very happy to welcome Yann to the club. Murchio said Lienard is a player they have known for some time and whose development they have closely followed in recent years. The director added that Yann was ready for a new challenge and now comes to Cercle to increase the competition within their goalkeeping squad. Lienard is expected to compete with Gaëtan Coucke for the goalkeeper position and replace Maxime Delanghe, who left on loan to Willem II this week.

AS Monaco announced on Thursday that its goalkeeper, Yann Liénard, has been loaned to Cercle Bruges until the end of the season. Liénard is the third goalkeeper in AS Monaco's hierarchy, behind Lukas Hradecky and Philipp Köhn. The deal with Cercle Bruges, a partner club of AS Monaco, does not include a purchase option.

AS Monaco announced that its goalkeeper, Yann Lienard, has been loaned to Cercle Bruges for the 2026-2027 season. Yann Lienard will continue his development at Cercle Bruges, a club that is a member of the Jupiler Pro League and is described as a cousin of AS Monaco.

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.
