According to transfer journalist Mounir Boualin, FC Groningen is interested in Ajax defender Nick Verschuren but faces competition from Sparta. The journalist also reports that the Rotterdam-based club hopes to sign Verschuren ahead of FC Groningen and currently appears to be in the strongest position. The 21-year-old Dutch defender spent the 2025/2026 season on loan at FC Volendam, making 31 appearances and providing one assist in the Eredivisie. His contract with Ajax is valid until June 2028, and his current market value on Transfermarkt is €1.00m.
