VVV-Venlo make their move for Ángel Alarcón
$5.4M on the table at Utrecht. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

VVV-Venlo bid $1.4M for Jelle Duin
The offer went to Vejle this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Enoch Mastoras will not be coming to VVV-Venlo
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at AZ is saying, and nobody at VVV-Venlo is enjoying the guessing.

AZ tell VVV-Venlo: Jur Schipper is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

VVV-Venlo promote Luuk Xavi Simons from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Luuk Xavi Simons has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
