Belgian-Moroccan central midfielder Sofian Kiyine is being linked with a move from Belgian third-tier side Stockay to Challenger Pro League club KSC Lokeren, with the 28-year-old’s future increasingly uncertain.
The Verviers-born midfielder, who represents RRC Stockay Saint-Georges and stands at 1.82m, is reportedly on Lokeren’s radar as they look to reinforce their midfield options for the new campaign. The speculation comes with no registered contract expiry date for Kiyine at Stockay, raising the prospect he could be available as a free agent if his current deal has quietly run down.
Transfer data lists Kiyine’s current market value as “None”, an unusual situation that has added intrigue to the rumour, given it leaves any potential fee or compensation open to interpretation. The probability of the move has not been formally assessed and is currently noted only as “?”, underlining that talks, if any, remain at an early and unconfirmed stage.
Kiyine, a right-footed central midfielder, holds both Moroccan and Belgian nationality and has spent recent seasons in the Belgian system, turning out for Stockay in the 1ste Nationale ACFF. On 25 June 2026, in a league match for Stockay, he featured in a tightly contested fixture against domestic opposition, contributing with his work rate and passing in a narrow result that maintained his side’s push for stability in the division.
Born on 2 October 1997, Kiyine has built a reputation as a hard-working midfielder capable of operating in the centre of the park, and any step up to the Challenger Pro League with Lokeren would represent a significant climb back up the domestic ladder.
Should the proposed move materialise, it could offer Kiyine a fresh platform to reshape his career trajectory, enhance his reputation in Belgium’s professional tiers and re-establish himself as a key figure at a higher competitive level.
