UPDATE Tweeklapper: Cercle Brugge secures man City winger

Cercle Brugge is looking to seriously arm itself for the upcoming season, acknowledging a need for pace on the flanks and a fresh attacking option. The club has declared it is prepared to go far to fill that gap, and a concrete deal with Manchester City is now on the table. This urgency is highlighted in the UPDATE Tweeklapper headline, signalling the club’s strategic shift.

Joel Ndala, the 20‑year‑old British winger, is the centerpiece of that deal. The Engelse, Britse youngster spent a decade at Manchester City, progressing through the youth ranks from age ten after being recruited from Port Vale. He featured for the club’s U21 side and accumulated loan experience at Hull City, Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest and Jong PSV.

The transfer is permanent, with Ndala signing a contract that runs until June 2030. Both clubs have reportedly reached an agreement, meaning the player will leave Manchester City definitively and continue his career at De Vereniging from this summer. The deal was confirmed by transfer specialist Sacha Tavolieri, who noted the permanent nature of the move.

According to Transfermarkt, Ndala’s market value stands at three million euros. In his most recent season with Manchester City’s U18s he recorded seventeen goals and eight assists, underscoring his potential as a prolific flank attacker. The winger’s statistics reinforce why Cercle Brugge sees him as a key addition.

Cercle Brugge also announced the signing of Lukas Mondele, a 22‑year‑old Belgian midfielder with a past at Club Brugge. Mondele has signed a contract until June 2029, with an option for an additional season, adding depth to the green‑black midfield.
