Luciano Valente, a former FC Groningen player, has publicly encouraged his former teammate Stije Resink, a 22-year-old Dutch defensive midfielder, to join him at Feyenoord by commenting on an Instagram post. Resink, the current captain of FC Groningen, is reportedly a target for the Netherlands' traditional top three clubs, and it is said that Ajax has significant interest. A transfer this winter is considered improbable, as a release clause in Resink's contract, valued at approximately six million euros, will activate in the summer. In the 2025/2026 Eredivisie season, Resink has contributed 4 goals and 5 assists in 17 matches. He joined Groningen in August 2024 from Almere City for a fee of €700,000. In December 2025, reports suggested FC Groningen would have difficulty refusing a €10 million offer, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €7.00m.
