Steven van der Sloot will sign with Fortuna Düsseldorf if the club remains in the 2. Bundesliga, but he will not join if they are relegated to the third division. Van der Sloot stated he has spoken with Sven Mislintat, the technical director, who said it would not be fair for him to play in the third division due to his performances. The player will be available on a free transfer in more than two months.

Steven van der Sloot has an agreement with Fortuna Düsseldorf, which plays in the 2. Bundesliga. According to Omroep West, Van der Sloot will move to Germany's second tier next season, and his deal includes a clause allowing him to cancel it if Fortuna Düsseldorf is relegated. In that event, a longer stay at ADO Den Haag is possible. Mark Wotte, the technical director, told the regional broadcaster that if Düsseldorf is relegated, anything is possible.

Right-back Steven van der Sloot is expected to join Fortuna Düsseldorf. The final details of the deal need to be clarified, and an official announcement is expected in the coming weeks. The 23-year-old Dutch-Cameroonian will join on a free transfer because his contract with the second-division club ADO Den Haag expires in the summer. He was under contract with FC Schalke between 2022 and 2024. The transfer will take place for the upcoming season, following Fortuna's unsuccessful attempt to sign him in the winter transfer window. In the current Keuken Kampioen Divisie season, van der Sloot has made 33 appearances, scoring 5 goals and providing 2 assists. He has been capped 3 times for the Netherlands at the U18 level and his current market value is €600k, according to Transfermarkt.
