Bundesliga Clubs Eyeing FC Twente’s Rising Star Ruud Nijstad

Growing Interest from Top Clubs

Numerous Bundesliga teams are reportedly keeping a close watch on the emerging talent of FC Twente, Ruud Nijstad. Sources from Team Talk indicate that his performances have caught the attention of several prominent clubs.

FC Barcelona’s Initial Pursuit

Initially, FC Barcelona showed interest in the 18-year-old defender. However, negotiations hit a snag due to challenges surrounding the transfer fee, which FC Twente holds at €10 million. The reigning La Liga champions are said to have hesitated to engage in talks regarding this valuation.

Positive Feedback from Scouts

It has been suggested that scouts from the clubs mentioned earlier have attended matches to evaluate Nijstad, and their responses have been “overwhelmingly positive.” This indicates that his skill set and potential are being recognized across the board.

Rapid Progress in First Team

Nijstad, who transitioned from the youth setup to the senior squad just this past summer, has made 10 appearances for FC Twente since October. His performances have showcased his maturity, composure, and decisiveness on the ball, qualities that have impressed observers.

Premier League Interest

In addition to the Bundesliga interest, several Premier League clubs are also monitoring Nijstad’s progress, with Manchester City and Chelsea among those keeping tabs on the young defender.
