Rick Karsdorp is expected to complete his move to Roma in the next 48 hours in a deal reportedly worth €15 million plus bonuses.
Utrecht’s wing-back Giovanni Troupee was linked with Feyenoord in the Dutch press on Saturday morning, but Voetbal International is now reporting that Kevin Diks is close to joining on loan from Fiorentina.
The 20-year-old Dutchman has failed to break into the Italians first team since joining from Vitesse last summer, and he moved back to Arnhem on loan in January. Fiorentina are happy for the right-back to gain another year of experience in the Eredivisie and he will compete with Bart Nieuwkoop for the starting spot in Rotterdam.
many things. 1 karsdorp better bring in 20+ million or no sale. 2. troupee is the perfect replacement.3. diks is not a replacement for karsdorp. he is a depth player. 4. depth is a good thing and getting diks does not mean we dont get troupee or at least make a run at him.
