It is expected that Troy Parrott, an Irish international, will depart from AZ this summer following an excellent season, with a potential transfer now reportedly gaining momentum after a period of lower-than-expected interest. Multiple larger foreign clubs have inquired with AZ about the 24-year-old striker. Como and Real Betis are named as interested parties, and PSV has also reportedly made an inquiry, though AZ's asking price seems to be higher than what the club is willing to pay. Ajax also recently registered their interest. AZ hopes to secure a top price for Parrott, who is under contract until 2029. The club had aspirations in the winter for a club-record fee that would surpass the nearly €25 million received for Tijjani Reijnders. The forward joined AZ in July 2024 and has 37 caps and 11 goals for Ireland. His current market value is €25.00m, according to Transfermarkt. In May 2026, reports cited a £25 million asking price from AZ for interested clubs.
