Bryan Linssen is leaving permanently for the Japanese Urawa Red Diamonds, reports RTV Rijnmond† The 31-year-old attacker signs a contract for 2.5 years and provides Feyenoord with 1.3 million euros.

The striker said at the time that 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.”
