Sparta Rotterdam is targeting Ajax defender Nick Verschuren, a 21-year-old from the Netherlands, whose contract in Amsterdam runs until mid-2028. The defender spent the past season on loan at FC Volendam, where he made a strong impression with 31 appearances and 1 assist, even though the team was relegated. Sparta hopes to sign him ahead of FC Groningen. According to transfer journalist Mounir Boualin, Sparta is also keen on signing him, and the Rotterdam-based team currently appears to be in the strongest position to do so. His current Transfermarkt market value is €1.00m.
