FC Groningen identified 21‑year‑old Swedish centre‑back Malcolm Jeng as a target after injuries to defenders Dies Janse and Marvin Peersman. The Dutch club initiated talks with his parent club Stade de Reims for a loan deal that would include an option to purchase, and Reims signaled willingness to cooperate.

By late July, the move was close to completion. Groningen’s director Frank van Mosselveld expressed cautious optimism, while technical director Mo Allach noted the transfer hinged on Jeng passing a medical. The loan would give Groningen defensive depth after Jeng’s season‑long Achilles injury at Feyenoord, with the right to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.
