Stan Valckx takes into account that Eredivisie top scorer Giorgos Giakoumakis will leave the Limburg club after this season. The football manager of VVV thinks that the Greek top scorer is good enough for the top in the Eredivisie and Valckx gives free advice to PSV, the club he served as a player for several seasons in that context.
“He prefers the larger football countries, but he is also enjoying his time in the Eredivisie”, Valckx emphasizes in an extensive interview with Football International. “He can compete in the top here. If I worked at PSV, I would dare to get him. Also for the amount that we think he is worth. Certainly,” says the VVV director about Giakoumakis, who lived in Venlo until mid-season 2022 is fixed. Chairman Hai Berden recently reported that a possible sale of the attacker should yield VVV at least five million euros.

Valckx also thinks that the top scorer of the Eredivisie should have a nice price tag, but on the other hand he has some doubts about a hefty transfer fee, especially in this corona time. “That certainly has an influence. On the price, on the concrete interest. But I have no doubt that we are in favor Jako are going to get what we have in mind. He looks good, at many clubs. Until now nothing has come that was very interesting, for him or for us. “Valckx understands that Giakoumakis is under a magnifying glass, but he does not see the striker purely as a commodity.
“There may soon be a club from Saudi Arabia that offers sixteen million, but he must also want to”, Valkcx puts the ball to the VVV attacker, who so far has scored 23 in competition. “Jako expressed in the winter break that he wanted to stay with us, because he expects that he will have more choice in the summer. “Giakoumakis will face Vitesse with VVV in the semi-finals of the TOTO KNVB Cup on Tuesday evening. At the end of January, the top scorer made all the goals in the 4-1 victory of VVV against the Arnhem club.
