Adrián Dalmau may be in his last weeks as a player for FC Utrecht. Football International reports Friday that Sparta Rotterdam is in the market for the striker who ended up on the second plan in De Galgenwaard. Trainer Henk Fraser would love to add a striker to Sparta’s selection in the winter transfer period. The number sixteen in the Eredivisie only managed to score fifteen times in eighteen competition matches.

The 27-year-old striker’s contract expires in six months, which means that Utrecht may be willing to let him go during the winter break. Only in this way can a transfer amount be left to Dalmau, who can talk to other clubs about a possible cooperation from 1 January. The Spanish attacker lost his starting spot to Tasos Douvikas at the start of this season and has only managed to score two starting places so far. Furthermore, he is mainly used as a substitute by trainer René Hake.

Dalmau’s agent was told at an earlier stage that Utrecht plans to cooperate in a transfer, should interested clubs present themselves halfway through this season. In addition to concrete interest from Sparta, there is also interest from a few unnamed clubs from Spain, it sounds like Friday. Football International adds, however, that the low flyer from Rotterdam has the best papers to pluck Dalmau away from Utrecht in the short term.

Gerard Nijkamp, ​​the new technical director of Sparta, does not wish to comment on his club’s alleged interest in Dalmau on Friday. “We are going to try to strengthen our selection this winter with experienced players who have already proven themselves at the highest level. And everyone sees that we are difficult to score,” Henk van Stee’s successor said in a comment. Football International. Only last but not least PEC Zwolle (nine) scored even less often.

If Dalmau actually chooses Sparta this winter break, it will be his third employer in the Netherlands. In 2018, the attacker arrived at Heracles Almelo, where he scored nineteen hits in his first year. This resulted in Dalmau transferring to Utrecht. Partly due to various injuries, his adventure in the Dom City was never a great success. The striker, coveted by Sparta, managed to score for the last time in March 2021.
