Anthony Correia, who admires Danny Bakker, wanted to bring the 31-year-old Dutch defender with him to FC Utrecht, but the club has put the potential transfer on hold. Utrecht reportedly considers signing Bakker a waste of resources as they see potential in Mike Eerdhuijzen. Bakker's contract at Telstar is expiring and he is not planning to extend it. According to Voetbal International, a move to Asia is now a possibility for the defender. After a meeting with his new agency, it was revealed that he could continue his career at a top club in South Korea, and there is also some underlying interest from Japan, with Bakker reportedly open to moving to either country. The defender, who has 3 caps for the Netherlands U21 team, registered 4 goals and 2 assists in 30 appearances during the 2025/2026 Eredivisie season; his current Transfermarkt market value is €450k.
