Kwasi Wriedt will return to Germany with immediate effect. Willem II announces through the official channels that the 27-year-old striker is making the switch to Holstein Kiel, the number thirteen of the 2. Bundesliga. Wriedt signs a contract in Northern Germany for two and a half years, which will link him to Holstein Kiel until mid-2025.
The reports about what exactly William II is left with from Wriedt differ. Football International writes that Holstein Kiel is transferring about a million euros for the three-time Ghanaian international. According to the Brabants Dagblad the transfer fee is ‘certainly not one million euros’. Based on sources from Germany, the regional daily reports that Willem II will have about 500,000 euros left over from Wriedt’s departure.
In any case, Wriedt’s time at Willem II will come to an end after a year and a half, which took him away from Bayern Munich’s second team. The former player of FC St. Pauli and VfL Osnabruck, among others, scored 12 goals and 4 assists in 44 official games on behalf of the Tilburg team. Football International states that Obbi Oulare – who hardly gets to play at Barnsley in England and played six months for Willem II in 2017 – is in the picture as a successor to Wriedt, who was generally the basic player this season.
It is no secret that Willem II is also very interested in Melle Meulensteen of RKC Waalwijk. “We are interested and we are trying to find a way out,” Willem II trainer Fred Grim said to the broadcaster Brabants Dagblad. Peter den Otter will in any case make the switch from RKC to Willem II. The goalkeeper coach will be the successor of the departed Harald Wapenaar within Grim’s staff.
