Maas Willemsen, a defender from De Graafschap, is also being considered by Sparta Rotterdam as one of the remaining clubs interested in signing him. Willemsen has an expiring contract, allowing him to transfer for free. Johan Hansma, the technical manager of De Graafschap, confirmed the concrete interest in Willemsen. Despite previous interest from clubs like Feyenoord and Go Ahead Eagles, it appears that SC Heerenveen and Sparta Rotterdam are the final contenders for Willemsen's signature, with Heerenveen reportedly having the best chance of securing the transfer.
