The Bundesliga champions have joined Bayern Munich, Borussia Monchengladbach, Schalke, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in the race for the 21-year-old striker’s signature this summer.
Reports in Dutch and German media indicate that Borussia Dortmund are the latest to express keen interest in signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luuk-de-Jong-c22956, in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The 21-year-old, who has been plying his trade at De Grolsch Veste since the summer of 2009, has been staging scintillating shows for the past couple of seasons. His consistent performances have garnered him interest from several
top flight clubs including the likes of Bayern Munich, Borussia Monchengladbach, Schalke, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Die Borussians are reportedly lining up a summer move for the highly-talented striker. With a number of clubs taking keen interest in luring the young attacker away from De Grolsch Veste, it is widely expected that the Dutch International
would not be plying his trade in Eredivisie next term.
Aldo van der Laan, the Tukkers Chef de Affaires, has confirmed reports linking his star player to numerous European clubs. However, he denied giving out any specific club name, though, he stressed that one of the Bundesliga clubs
are interested in acquiring the striker's services.
“We know that there are many interested parties, including several from German Bundesliga”, Van der Laan was quoted as saying to the media.
The Borussians head coach, Jurgen Klopp, is reportedly keen to lure the Dutch hit-man to Westfalenstadion before the start of the 2012/13 campaign as a replacement for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-Barrios-c22533.
The Paraguayan International has recently sealed a move to Chinese Super League outfit, Guangzhou Evergrande, and the Bundesliga champions see the prolific striker as a perfect addition to their squad.
De Jong, who has thus far donned the jersey of FC Twente in 76 matches and managed to score 39 goals, has an ongoing contract at De Grolsch Veste that runs until the end of the 2013/14 campaign.
However, reports confirm that the Tukkers will cash in on their prized asset if an offer in the region of 15 million Euros comes in this summer.
