Bruno Martins Indi will also play for AZ in the coming years. The Alkmaarders will definitively take over the 29-year-old center defender from Stoke City, as is communicated via the official roads. Martins Indi already played on a rental basis for AZ last season, which has now bought off its one-year contract in England.

It is not known how much AZ pays for Martins Indi. The center defender has signed for four seasons and is delighted. “AZ is a club that suits me well,” said the 34-time the Dutch international. “The playing style and way of working appeals to me. In addition, I can play in the top of the Netherlands and European football at AZ. I believe in the plans of the club and I feel that I still have a lot to give. more.”

AZ previously extended Jordy Clasie’s contract until mid-2024 and is once again keeping an experienced force on board with Martins Indi. “Last season Bruno showed that he is of added value for AZ. His qualities are undisputed,” says director of football affairs Max Huiberts. “In addition, he brings leadership and a lot of experience. At the same time, he is very eager to perform. In addition, he is a left-footed defender, which allows us to increase our options in defense. In short, Bruno is a player who makes us stronger.”

Martins Indi was a regular basic player at AZ last season and came to 38 official games. With Sam Beukema, Martins Indi has an extra competitor in the defense at AZ this season. The 22-year-old right-footed defender came over from Go Ahead Eagles for 900,000 euros and scored twice on Saturday in his unofficial debut in the exhibition game with NEC (4-1 win). AZ just let Ramon Leeuwin go to Almere City FC on a free transfer.
