Joey Veerman has appeared on the radar of Hellas Verona, which has five million euros left for the 22-year-old midfielder. Technical director Ferry de Haan of sc Heerenveen indicated on Tuesday morning that no agreement has yet been reached with any club about a transfer. Nevertheless, the ambitious Veerman sees a switch to the club from the Serie A.
“I would like to take this step, yes”, Veerman confirmed on Tuesday afternoon in a response to the Leeuwarder Courant. “Hellas Verona seems like a very nice club. They finished tenth in the Serie A last season. Moreover, Verona is a beautiful city, ten minutes drive from Lake Garda. I used to go there on holiday.” The midfielder is not afraid to end up on the bench in Verona. “It seems to me that I will play a lot there. Otherwise it would not be an interesting option for me.”
Panic has not yet broken out in Heerenveen: ‘There is always something going on around Joey’
The Frisians remain calm under the growing interest in Joey Veerman.
For now, however, it remains to be seen for Veerman. Heerenveen has brushed off Hellas Verona’s opening offer of five million euros. According to sports marketer Chris Woerts, the club wants to receive at least double that. “It’s exciting. But we’ll see what will happen. Anyway, I hope that a club will soon reach an agreement with Heerenveen. I’ve been here for two years now and I really enjoyed myself during that period. But I will soon be 23. Then it is time for a nice step in my career. I feel like I am ready for that too,” said Veerman, who is stuck in the Abe Lenstra Stadium until mid-2024.
De Haan spoke on Tuesday morning about the growing interest from home and abroad in Veerman. “There is always something going on around Joey. That makes sense, because Joey is a very good player. But he still has a three-year contract with Heerenveen (until mid-2024, ed.) and three parties have to be satisfied for a good deal. is not yet the case, so it makes little sense to respond to rumors,” the director said in conversation with the Leeuwarder Courant. Veerman was executed on Monday Feyenoord Transfermarkt associated with Feyenoord, which wants to enter into talks with the midfielder in the short term.
Nordin Amrabat spoke on Monday evening The the Dutch Summer about Hellas Verona’s interest in Veerman. “Verona is still funny, because there he has to compete with Miguel Veloso, the captain. If it is true, then I don’t think they will offer much more. He better not go there.” Woerts thinks that Hellas Verona is a good option for Veerman. “Veerman is very enthusiastic about it himself, but Heerenveen is less enthusiastic. Of course they hope to earn extra from him. Feyenoord would actually be the most logical choice, because that is a nice intermediate step before he goes abroad.”
