The 28-year-old has only made four appearances in the Championship this season after joining Derby County from Groningen last summer.
Speaking to Fox Sports, Te Wierik confirmed his intention is to leave in January, “I said there must be a solution and the club knows that. My agent is working on it and a number of clubs have already signed up.”
Asked whether a return to the Eredivisie is an option with Fortuna Sittard and his former club Groningen said to be interested, Te Wierik said, “Fortuna, FC Groningen and another club? Yes, something like that. For me, the Netherlands is one hundred percent an option. I had a great time there. It’s about playing football and if you can see your family more often. that is certainly a plus. “
A return to Groningen seems most obvious, “That could be, because I had a good time there and it went very well. First Derby still has to find a solution with my agent, because maybe I will not be allowed to leave at all. Then we will see what we can do. It can go in any direction, but I would like to play football. “
