Fortuna Sittard had hoped Lance Duijvestijn would make a permanent move to Limburg after he spent the last six months on loan from Sparta, but the transfer was not completed. Instead, the 27-year-old Dutch midfielder is nearing a move to German club SV Darmstadt, according to a report from Voetbal International. The deal is understood to be in an advanced stage, pending only the final formalities and a medical examination. Sparta is set to receive a transfer fee for the player, who has a contract until mid-2029. There had also been previous interest in Duijvestijn from clubs in England. For the 2025/2026 season in the Eredivisie, Duijvestijn made 28 appearances, scored 3 goals, and provided 2 assists. He has 2 caps for Netherlands U15. His current market value is €800k, according to Transfermarkt.
