Xavier Mbuyamba Transfer from FC Volendam to Udinese
Xavier Mbuyamba, a 23-year-old defender from Volendam, has been identified as a potential candidate for a transfer to Udinese. Having previously played for the youth teams of Barcelona and Chelsea, Mbuyamba made 34 appearances in the Eerste Divisie last season. Despite his promising profile, he faces a significant hurdle due to the subcutaneous defibrillator he uses, which is not permitted under Italy's sports medical regulations. This device, similar to the one that enabled Christian Eriksen to resume his football career, is not allowed for competitive play in Italy, thereby complicating Mbuyamba's possible transfer to Friuli.
