The Belgian side, who are desperate for investment to aid their financial situation, are the subject of a takeover bid from the Ligue 1 leaders
Monaco have made an offer to purchase a majority stake in Cercle Brugge as the Ligue 1 leaders seek to benefit from the "Belgian school" of youth development.
Leonardo Jardim's team are impressing on the pitch in 2016-17, sitting top of the table and three points clear of reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain.
The club, owned by Russian businessman Dmitry Rybolovlev, also have at least one eye on the future, though, and are seeking to take control of the Belgian second-tier outfit.
