FC Twente are strongly considering a summer departure for Mees Hilgers. Technical director Jan Streuer is reportedly aware of international interest in the defender.
The 24-year-old Hilgers has only one year left on his contract in Enschede and apparently has no intention of extending it.
โMees has already indicated several times that he wants to take the next step, and weโve already acted on that in the transfer market,โ says Streuer, referring to the signing of Israeli Stav Lemkin who joined from Maccabi Tel Aviv.
โYou can wait until a player leaves, but then it might already be mid-August,โ Streuer explained the strategy to VI. โIf Mees does stay, weโll have an extra player at the back. But Iโm not counting on that. We also know heโs on the radar of foreign clubs. There havenโt been any bids yet, but itโs still quite early. A lot is going to happen this summer.โ
