Lazare Amani: Cercle Brugge eye move for Ivorian-Belgian midfielder from Kifisia

Cercle Brugge are being linked with a move for Kifisia’s Ivorian-Belgian central midfielder Lazare Amani, with the 28-year-old potentially heading back to Belgium from Greek side Kifisia.

The Super League 1 club are yet to clarify the length of Amani’s deal in Athens and, with no contract expiry publicly listed, speculation has grown that the right-footed midfielder could become available as a free agent, or at least at a cut‑price fee, this summer.

Data from Transfermarkt values Amani at €1.00m, a figure seen as affordable for Jupiler Pro League side Cercle Brugge as they look to deepen their midfield options. The reported probability of the move remains unclear, with the rumour currently listed as “?” and no formal agreement in place between the clubs.

Born in Diégonéfla on 7 March 1998, Amani stands at 1.72m and operates primarily as a central midfielder. He holds dual nationality with Côte d’Ivoire and Belgium, a factor that would smooth any return to Belgian football and avoid issues over non-EU quotas.

Amani, who wears the No 88 shirt for Kifisia, has been a regular presence in Greece’s top flight this season, featuring in the Super League 1 for the Athens-based side. In his most recent notable outing, he turned in a solid midfield display for Kifisia in a Super League 1 fixture earlier this year, helping to control possession in a tight match, although the exact opponent, date and scoreline have not been detailed in the available data.

With his contract situation at Kifisia not publicly defined and his valuation relatively modest, a move to Cercle Brugge would offer Amani the chance to re-establish himself in a competitive Belgian environment and could prove a pivotal step in shaping the next phase of his career and reputation in European football if the transfer materialises.
