Bracks announces deal with winger Alan Minda from Cercle Brugge (BEL) | OneFootball

Atlético has taken another important step in the market and announced, through its CSO Paulo Bracks, the agreement for the signing of Ecuadorian winger Alan Minda, 22, from Cercle Brugge, Belgium. The deal is closed, with only the medical exams remaining before the athlete is officially confirmed as Galo’s newest reinforcement.

Having come up through the youth ranks of Independiente del Valle, one of the main talent factories in South American football, Minda arrives at Atlético after standing out in Belgian football. In the current season of the national championship, the young forward has played 18 matches, with 3 goals and 3 assists, showing consistency and direct involvement in offensive plays.

Of the 17 matches played by Cercle Brugge in the national league, Alan Minda started 11 as a starter, averaging 57 minutes per game, totaling 974 minutes on the pitch. These numbers reinforce Atlético’s confidence in a player who combines speed, physical strength, and the ability to break through on the flanks.

In addition to his club performances, Minda has also been drawing attention on the international stage. In 2025, the winger has received call-ups to the Ecuadorian national team.

The signing is part of a need already identified by the club: to invest in young athletes with potential for appreciation and the ability to deliver immediate results. If he passes the medical exams, Alan Minda will join Galo’s squad for the remainder of the season, increasing the team’s attacking options.

If confirmed, the Ecuadorian will be Atlético’s second signing, following the announcement of left-back Renan Lodi.
