Dutch clubs’ transfer buzz links Younes Taha and Marc‑André ter Stegen to new moves

FC Twente turned down an initial offer from an unnamed Serie A club for midfielder Younes Taha, while the Dutch midfielder remains on the radar of German sides VfL Wolfsburg and Schalke 04. The same transfer window sees Heracles Almelo signing French forward Chafik Abbas and Czech midfielder Jan Zamburek moving to ADO Den Haag.

Separately, Barcelona goalkeeper Marc‑André ter Stegen missed a training session ahead of a reported loan to Ajax. The move is awaiting final tax and paperwork clearance, with reports that Barcelona has given provisional approval. Ajax is also linked with several other targets, including Brazilian striker Lucca Marques and Dutch‑born midfielder Azzedine Ounahi.

Both stories illustrate a busy Dutch summer market, with clubs negotiating domestic and cross‑border deals involving the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain and Brazil.
