Bryan Linssen is approaching a personal agreement with the Japanese Urawa Red Diamonds. The attacker already indicated last week that he was in talks with the Asian club, and now reports RTV Rijnmond that the attacker has moved closer to a transition to Japan in recent days. Linssen still has a contract for one season with Feyenoord, which in all likelihood can look forward to a modest transfer fee.

Linssen is in his second season in Rotterdam, where he currently stands on 17 goals and 10 assists in 52 official games. In recent weeks, trainer Arne Slot has preferred Cyriel Dessers in the point of the attack, which means that Linssen has to make do with filling in turns. Also in the Conference League final against AS Roma, the preference is very likely to go to Dessers. Linssen has Urawa Red Diamonds according to RTV Rijnmond announced that he was open to an adventure in Japan and would have come close to a personal agreement in recent days.

Linssen acknowledged two weeks ago after reaching the Conference League final against ESPN that there is interest in him. “I can deny it, but of course there is something going on. But at the moment I really only focused on this match. I sincerely mean that, because this is a once in a lifetime is. Now I have at least two weeks to answer a few emails,” the attacker said at the time. “As soon as we go back to that final, I don’t want to hear anything about it anymore. There is only one thing that counts. win that prize, because that’s never going to happen to me after that. We’re going to do everything we can.”

Reported over a week ago Football International that Linssen is in the interest of Urawa Red Diamonds. Feyenoord will not stand in the way of a possible switch and gives the attacker the space to negotiate with the Japanese. For the striker it is especially important that the complete picture is correct. “It is clear that something is going on and that I am talking to them is certainly the case. I honestly do not know whether we are really going to work it out. What that depends on? The whole picture! It is not next door and then you have to everything is right. It’s not just a salary.”
