A Monaco academy graduate, Liénard sits third in the first-team pecking order. The move is intended to aid his development.

Before anything can be finalised, he must extend his contract, which currently runs until June 2027. Talks are focused on a one-year extension.

If the new deal is agreed, the loan to Cercle Bruges is expected to proceed, giving Liénard a pathway to regular senior football in Belgium.
