While the kick-off for Cercle de Bruges – Anderlecht has been given, a huge surprise: there will be no Kevin Denkey at the kick-off. Because the Togolese… is discussing a transfer with a club!
Kevin Denkey (23 years old) will not face RSC Anderlecht this Sunday, announced Cercle de Bruges ahead of this crucial meeting. And not because the Togolese, top scorer in the Pro League last season, is injured or ill.
No, Denkey is absent from the squad for this meeting… because he is in discussions with a club regarding an imminent transfer. “He has received authorization from Cercle to carry out discussions concerning a possible transfer, which require his physical presence,” Cercle de Bruges clearly explains via a press release.
However, the transfer market is closed, everywhere in the world. The winter transfer window will only be open in a little less than two months. We therefore do not know why Denkey particularly needs to be absent today, a shock day against the RSCA.
In any case, it is a hard blow for Cercle, because it means that their striker clearly no longer has the lead in the championship. However, he has scored 11 goals this season, confirming his good performance last season (27 goals in the Pro League and a top scorer title).
Cercle de Bruges hopes to at least hit the jackpot for Kevin Denkey, estimated at 14 million euros by Transfermarkt but who could well bring in even more – we are talking about around 20 million euros, minimum.
