The Feyenoord Rotterdam boss has urged Aston Villa to complete the signing of centre-back at the earliest, as the uncertainty is affecting his side’s pre-season preparations.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ron-Vlaar-c31697, has been continuously linked with a move to join Aston Villa before the summer transfer window slams shut.
The 27-year-old along with his agent visited Villa Park last weekend to discuss about a potential move. The central defender held talks with the Villa head coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-c29347 Lambert, which went very well.
Reports indicated that the English Premier League outfit will be tabling a bid to acquire the Dutch stopper’s services. However, the Rotterdammers have yet to hear anything from the Villans, making the club unsure whether the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar defender will
be moving away from De Kuip Stadion or not.
Ronald Koeman, the Rotterdam giants boss, has insisted that Paul Lamberts’ side should resolve the situation earliest, as it is affecting both the player and the club.
“It is good when you invite a player and give him a positive feeling, but it seems to me that then you need to try a direct transfer and complete it if you want the player. They have so much money but they do not pay for him”, Koeman was quoted as saying
to NUsport.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 player went on to reveal that he will not instate Vlaar, who has been plying his trade at De Kuip Stadion since the summer of 2006, in the starting XI if his stay at De Kuip Stadion is not confirmed.
“I need to gradually know where I stand. If it can’t be guaranteed that Ron continues here, then in the final friendly matches I will play without him in the centre of the defence”, Koeman concluded.
The Dutch stopper, who has thus far played well over 100 Eredivisie while donning the jersey of Feyenoord, has an ongoing contract at De Kuip Stadion that runs until the summer of 2014.
Reports indicate that the Rotterdammers will let go of their talented centre-back this summer if an offer in the region of eight million Euros comes in.
