Sparta has shown interest in Mattijs Branderhorst, who returned to FC Utrecht after his loan spell at Fortuna Sittard. Branderhorst had been on loan to Fortuna Sittard, where he played under coach Danny Buijs. While Fortuna Sittard is eager to retain him for another season, the club faces competition from Sparta Rotterdam, which is looking to fill the void left by their previous goalkeeper, Nick Olij, who transferred to PSV. The interest from Sparta comes as they seek to strengthen their squad following the departure of Olij.
