Goalkeeper Nikolas Polster has signed a four-year contract with NEC following his move from Wolfsberger, which Voetbalprimeur.nl reports. The transfer fee has not been disclosed.

Nikolas Polster is close to moving to NEC Nijmegen. According to 'Krone', NEC Nijmegen, who finished third in the previous season of the Dutch top flight, will pay approximately 1.5 million euros to Wolfsberger AC. An offer from Hertha BSC was not considered.

According to Kronen Zeitung, Nikolas Polster is set to join Eredivisie club NEC Nijmegen and is expected to undergo a medical with the Dutch club on Monday. Nikolas Polster seemingly made his final Wolfsberger appearance at the weekend. When asked whether his performance could have strengthened interest from potential suitors, Polster minimized the significance of one individual display. He stated that he does not believe one game decides a transfer, adding that he showed what he is capable of and that what happens next will be seen in the coming days.

Nikolas Polster, a 24-year-old Austrian goalkeeper, will travel to the Netherlands on Monday, August 10, for a medical examination with NEC. If he passes the medical, he is expected to sign a contract. Polster, who is uncapped by the Austrian national team, has decided to leave his current club, Wolfsberger AC, which he joined in July 2024 and where he had one year remaining on his contract. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is two million euros, but the actual transfer fee NEC will pay remains unclear. Several other clubs, including Celtic and Hertha BSC, had recently been linked with the goalkeeper. Reports in July 2026 detailed a negotiation in which Hertha BSC was willing to pay €500,000, while Wolfsberger AC demanded €1,000,000.
