http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dries-Mertens-c11679 scaring off interested clubs – Dutch Eredivisie news
FC Utrecht’s Dries Mertens has performed brilliantly throughout this season and his good performances have not gone unnoticed outside of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AFC-Ajax-c38228 Amsterdam are taking keen interest in signing the attacking midfielder.
However, the Utreg management have put a 7.5 million Euros price tag on their prized asset, which is scaring away interested clubs.
Mertens joined the outfit from Utrecht in the 2009/10 season and has featured in 65 matches for his side. Though he has scored 16 goals during his stay at Stadion Galgenwaard, his exceptional http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Skills-c40539 with the ball at his feet have attracted interest from
a host of top European clubs.
Russian Premier League outfit, RSC Anderlecht, are looking to add new faces in the upcoming summer transfer market and see the 24-year-old attacking midfielder as a perfect addition to their squad. They have a good transfer budget as they recently sold Mbark
Boussoufa to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven’s Balazs Dzsudzsak, meaning they are unlikely to meet the asking price of the Utreg’s prized asset.
The Amsterdammers were being heavily linked to the Belgian International in the winter transfer market this year, but the move fell apart as the two sides failed to agree upon a transfer fee. For his part, Dries Mertens has expressed his desire to play at
Amsterdam Arena the next season.
If rumours are to be believed, English Premier League outfit Fulham FC have also keenly observed the 24-year-old attacking midfielder and they are preparing to place a bid for the Belgian International in the upcoming transfer window.
For all the speculation, it seems unlikely that any of the interested clubs are going to meet the asking price set by the Utreg management for the Belgian International. However, with a host of European clubs interested in taking his signature in the summer
transfer window, Mertens is more than likely to pursue his career away from the Utreg the next season.
