Although not officially confirmed yet, the media claims that the Spanish club has agreed with Alkmaar for the transfer of defender Jan Kromkamp for 7 million euros.
It is believed that the clubs have not yet agreed on specific payment terms, but the media claims that Valencia has already reached an agreement with the player for a four-year contract.
Valencia has been interested in the Dutch national team right-back for several months. J. Kromkamp attracted the attention of the Spanish club and other powerful European clubs with his impressive performances at AZ last season.
The 24-year-old defender is expected to finalize the transfer details after meeting with Valencia's management. The meeting is likely to take place in the near future in the Netherlands, where Valencia is holding its pre-season camp. The Valencia sports director stated that the Dutch transfer is just a matter of time.
Meanwhile, Valencia has signed a contract with Alicante's right-back David Cerrajeria, who became a free agent after his contract expired. However, the promising 22-year-old defender will not only compete with Curro Torres for a place in the starting lineup, but also with J. Kromkamp. Despite this, the player is unlikely to participate in pre-season training with his new team as he recovers from a knee injury suffered at the end of last season.
