NEC and Lille are negotiating a transfer for Başar Önal, a 21-year-old Turkish-Dutch winger. The player, who has been capped for Türkiye at the U21 level, has reached a personal agreement with Lille. The French club, which secured Champions League qualification by finishing third in their league last season, must still finalize an agreement with NEC. In the 2025/2026 Eredivisie season, Önal recorded 7 goals and 8 assists in 29 appearances. Önal, who holds a contract with the Nijmegen club until mid-2028, is expected to cost around seven million euros. NEC paid €1.0 million to sign him from De Graafschap in July 2024. Italian media had also recently linked the player with a move to Fiorentina.
