Dani de Wit Transfer from VfL Bochum 1848 to FC Utrecht
Dani de Wit has signed a three-year contract with FC Utrecht. The transfer was confirmed by the club on Thursday morning. De Wit, who played for VfL Bochum last season, expressed his enthusiasm after discussions with Jordy Zuidam and Ron Jans from FC Utrecht. He is looking forward to contributing to the club's ambitions in the Europa League.
Dani de Wit is set to become the third summer signing for FC Utrecht. Although he still has a contract running for three more years with VfL Bochum, he is expected to sign a three-year contract with FC Utrecht soon. De Wit, who has a history with Ajax and AZ, will be returning to the Eredivisie a year after leaving AZ. His contribution at VfL Bochum diminished over the season, and he played only 1145 minutes in 28 Bundesliga matches. Bochum has been relegated to Germany's second division.
Dani de Wit is expected to leave VfL Bochum this summer, with Utrecht emerging as the primary contender to secure his signature as they aim to reinforce their midfield. De Wit struggled during his stint in Germany, culminating in a season spent largely on the bench and facing relegation with Bochum. The transfer appears increasingly likely following the departure of the trainer and sporting director responsible for his move to Bochum. As Utrecht gears up for their forthcoming Europa League campaign, they are eager to improve their midfield options due to anticipated player exits. De Wit, who honed his skills at Ajax's academy, is seen as a potential replacement for key players such as Oscar Fraulo, Paxten Aaronson, and Jens Toornstra, whose departures are looming. The club is motivated to move swiftly in the transfer market to strengthen their squad for European competition.
