FC Groningen wants to extend the contract of Thijmen Blokzijl. General director Frank van Mosselveld confirmed to RTV Noord that the club is in talks with Blokzijl to extend his contract. The talks between FC Groningen and Blokzijl are reportedly going well, in part because Blokzijl himself wants to extend his contract. Blokzijl's current contract expires at the end of the season, and FC Groningen hopes to avoid a departure on a free transfer.

According to Voetbalprimeur.nl, FC Groningen has extended Thijmen Blokzijl's contract by exercising an option. The 20-year-old defender is now under contract at De Euroborg until the summer of 2027. Blokzijl's contract was originally set to expire next summer. The Pride of the North and the youth international will discuss the future during the second half of the season.
