‘Cercle sensation Rabbi Matondo plays for this JPL club for 3 million euros’ | Football24

Every season you have a player who literally surprises everyone. And this is especially noticeable at a ‘smaller’ club. Rabbi Matondo is the perfect example of this.

The 21-year-old Welshman is of gold value for Cercle Brugge with his great statistics and enormous speed. It seems certain that he will make a great career. The only question is which club. He is now rented from Schalke 04.

That will of course also depend on the pennies. The last news knows that Cercle Brugge negotiated a purchase option last summer that, according to Technical Director Carlos Avina, is ‘very feasible’. The newspaper states that it concerns an amount of around three million euros.

Matondo himself dreams of a return to the Premier League, he is originally from Manchester City. “But I’m hopeful that we can still convince Rabbi,” said Avina. “Certainly if he would make it to the World Cup with Wales. Cercle Brugge is no longer a relegation team, as was then with Ugbo.”

There were no clear agreements with Iké Ugbo, who was hired from Chelsea and left for KRC Genk after his top season in Bruges. Which in the end led to some misery. With Matondo, those agreements are said to have been made.
