Cédric Bakambu’s potential transfer to Standard Liège marks an important turning point in his career. After Sochaux’s relegation to Ligue 2, the French-Congolese forward seems eager to take the next step, and a move to Belgium could provide just that.
According to La Dernière Heure, negotiations are progressing well, and if finalized, Bakambu would become Standard’s first offensive signing of the window. This move would not only help Standard reinforce their attacking options but also allow Bakambu to stay at a competitive level, with possible exposure to European competitions.
While there were also rumors of interest from German clubs, Standard Liège currently appears to be in pole position. If the transfer goes through, it will be a key career decision for Bakambu, who has been a standout talent at Sochaux and will be looking to confirm his potential on a bigger stage.
