Bild reports on the strong interest Rot-Weiss Essen has shown in Vincent Vermeij. Rot-Weiss Essen has shown strong interest in Vincent Vermeij for several weeks, offering a second-tier level contract and willing to pay a transfer fee to Fortuna Düsseldorf. This option might be financially beneficial for Düsseldorf.

According to 'WAZ', Rot-Weiss Essen and striker Vincent Vermeij from Fortuna Düsseldorf are reportedly 'in agreement over the main points of a transfer'. A contract until 2026 is mentioned, with an option for an additional year if the third division club is promoted. Both clubs have reportedly already spoken, with the third division club aiming to reduce the transfer fee. Vermeij has scored 13 goals and provided four assists in 50 second division appearances, and has 68 goal contributions in 120 third division matches.

Vincent Vermeij is attracting interest from the third league. According to 'WAZ', Rot-Weiss Essen has shown interest in the forward from Fortuna Düsseldorf. The club had previously been interested in the Dutch player during the summer. Vermeij, who joined Fortuna Düsseldorf in 2023 from the second team of SC Freiburg, has scored 15 goals and provided four assists in 48 appearances. It was suggested that a loan to Essen would only be conceivable if Fortuna Düsseldorf would cover a part of the salary for the striker, who is currently not in high demand.
