This year, one of the leaders, right-back defender Jan Kromkamp, who impressively plays in both the Dutch championship and the UEFA Cup, expressed his desire to move to .
Earlier, this player was of interest to London , and recently both Birmingham's "Aston Villa" and Gelsenkirchen's "Schalke" have shown interest in the talented Dutch national team defender.
J. Kromkamp himself told the Spanish sports newspaper "Marca" that he wants to move to "Valencia" and added that the interest of the latter club was the greatest: "I know that "Valencia" is interested in me. They have been negotiating with "AZ" for several months already, but the club is not satisfied with the amount offered for me."
"Valencia" is a wonderful city with a great team, where I would like to play," continued the 24-year-old defender. "Other clubs were also interested in me, but they, unlike "Valencia", were very superficial in their approach."
"Valencia" currently has two right-back defenders: the injured Spaniard Curro Torres and the Portuguese Marco Caneira. The latter can also play in the central defender position. Another right-back defender, Spaniard Javier Garrido, has been loaned to "Saint-Etienne" for several years.
