17 Jul
Summary
- Ipswich Town's initial offer for goalkeeper Kayne van Oevelen was rejected.
- FC Volendam seeks a higher fee for the 22-year-old Dutch goalkeeper.
- Valencia has reportedly agreed personal terms with the player.
Ipswich Town, recently promoted to the Premier League, is actively seeking a new first-choice goalkeeper and has identified Kayne van Oevelen of FC Volendam as a prime target. The English club submitted an initial offer amounting to approximately €3 million.
However, FC Volendam rejected this bid, considering it below their valuation of the 22-year-old Dutch player. Negotiations between the two clubs are still in progress as they strive to reach an agreement on a suitable transfer fee.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, Valencia has emerged as a competitor for Van Oevelen's signature. Reports suggest that the Spanish club has already secured personal terms with the goalkeeper, indicating a potential bidding war.
FC Volendam is open to selling the promising young goalkeeper this summer but is firm on receiving what they consider to be a fair price for one of their key assets.
