Market

Victor Edvardsen asks to leave Fortuna Sittard

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout

Dean Schenkhuizen says Fortuna Sittard went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Vincent Müller rejects the move

Fortuna Sittard had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Aalborg, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Words exchanged at Fortuna Sittard

Edouard Michut and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

An offer of $99.0K for Tyrese Teuwsen

Fortuna Sittard have gone to Ajax with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Fortuna Sittard

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad

Mees Hilgers falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Carlos Coronel

Fortuna Sittard asked and AZ said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Fortuna Sittard promote Marten Brobbey from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Marten Brobbey 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.

In brief
