Walid Ould-Chikh will stay at Heracles Almelo, a club that has been relegated to the Keuken Kampioen Divisie. The 26-year-old midfielder, who was on loan from German second-tier club Braunschweig last summer, is set to be acquired permanently as Heracles is exercising its purchase option. Ould-Chikh had a contract in Germany until mid-2027, and the precise transfer fee is not known at this time.
