Nothing seems to stand in the way of Calvin Stengs’ transition to OGC Nice. It General Newspaper was able to report on Wednesday evening that AZ has about fifteen million euros left over from the sale of the 22-year-old attacker. Stengs flew to the south of France on Tuesday to complete the transition to Nice. It was previously announced that AZ did not intend to sell him for less than ten million euros.

Stengs, who was no longer in action this Wednesday in the practice match against KRC Genk, is in joint fourth place in terms of the most expensive outgoing transfer from AZ. Earlier this Wednesday, it was announced that Myron Boadu is also leaving for fifteen million euros. The striker is almost certainly moving to AS Monaco. In the top three in terms of most expensive transfers are Vincent Janssen (sold for 22 million euros to Tottenham Hotspur), Alireza Jahanbakhsh (sold for 19 million euros to Brighton & Hove Albion) and Guus Til (sold for 18 million euros to Spartak Moscow).

With the fifteen million euros that AZ receives for the sale of Stengs, according to the General Newspaper didn’t get a replacement right away. Trainer Pascal Jansen initially gives confidence to Hakon Evjen and Albert Gudmundsson on the right winger position, it sounds like. At an earlier stage, Vangelis Pavlidis, coming from Willem II, was brought in from the striker position. In addition, defender Sam Beukema was taken over from Go Ahead Eagles. AZ is also looking for a new keeper, despite the fact that Marco Bizot saw a transfer to Olympiacos bounce off.

On the broadcast of The the Dutch Summer was reacted on Tuesday evening to the possible switch of Stengs: “AZ will be so happy if they have lost Boadu and Stengs,” said René van der Gijp. “This is really the moment. If they play another season like last season next season, you’re done. Now they are still against the Dutch national team. But if they play another season like that, it’s over and they can go to Club Brugge.” Johan Derksen agreed. “Now they can cash in.”
