It cannot be ruled out that the match against Feyenoord (0-0) was Sergio Padt’s last for FC Groningen. The thirty-year-old goalkeeper will in any case start working at Ludogorets from 1 July, which has now reported again in Groningen to recruit Padt immediately. The transfer market in Bulgaria is open until next Sunday.
“It’s already been drawn, it’s in jugs and pitchers,” says Padt in front of the camera ESPN about his personal agreement with Ludogorets. “So I will go there in the summer. There is still a chance that it will happen now. I will give it to you for free”, the keeper smiles. “But you have to put that question to Groningen. They had already reported in January and now again. Whether I will go immediately? There is always a chance. I have no influence on that, that is up to the club, whether it is good. is enough to let me go now. What amount Groningen wants? No idea. ”
Danny Buijs, the FC Groningen coach, was somewhat surprised by the news that Ludogorets has reported for Padt again. “I also only just heard in the hall that the club has made an offer,” said the coach. “My position is very simple: of course I hope that he finishes the season with us. But if it is such a good offer for the club that it is necessary for the finances of the club to sell it, then you should. also accept as coach. I hope that the offer is not so good, so that he finishes the season here. At the moment we have no other goalkeeper of the level of Sergio, it’s that simple. “
Kees Kwakman, former midfielder of the club, punctually in the studio of ESPN indicates that Groningen has prepared for the possible immediate departure of Padt. “They have hired a keeper”, Kwakman refers to Per Kristian Bratveit, who is borrowed from Djurgardens. “But of course they still go for European football, and Padt is just a reliable goalkeeper. I also understand that Groningen would rather try to get European football than the few tons they might get.” Groningen is sixth and is heading for the play-offs for a ticket for the Conference League, the third European tournament after the summer starts.
