FC Koln are reportedly interested in Feyenoord target Rav van den Berg. The Middlesbrough defender was recently close to a transfer to Rotterdam, although things have remained quiet in recent days following the signing of Tsuyoshi Watanabe. The Germans may want to capitalise on this.
โThere is continued uncertainty surrounding the future of Middlesbrough defender Van den Berg,โ reports The Northern Echo. โHe is attracting interest from Feyenoord and German side FC Koln.โ
The British outlet point to Feyenoordโs previous attempts to lure the 21-year-old former PEC Zwolle player.
โMiddlesbrough have rejected two bids from Feyenoord and havenโt yet reached an agreement with Cologne, but interest from Europe seems to be increasing.โ Van den Berg was recently absent from Middlesbroughโs squad for the friendly against Rangers after โhe sustained a back injury during the warm-up.โ
Feyenoord identified Van den Berg as a defensive reinforcement in light of David Hanckoโs departure and Thomas Beelenโs serious injury, but has reportedly put the deal on hold. It is unclear whether Van den Berg will still make a transfer to Rotterdam in the coming weeks. Tsuyoshi Watanabe has already done so. The Japanese player joined from KAA Gent.
