AZ wants to take Thom van Bergen away from FC Groningen. The striker is seen as an ideal reinforcement for the front line. Insiders confirm this. Recently, the Alkmaarders have officially made their interest in Van Bergen known in Groningen. AZ is taking into account a summer departure of Troy Parrott and is therefore busy filling the renewed front line. Van Bergen is doing well in the Afas Stadium. Van Bergen, also active with Jong Oranje, must cost a handful of millions, so it sounds. The attacker has been aware of the interest for a number of weeks and would himself welcome the transition, as he is in Alkmaar certain of a fixed number of duels in the group stage of the Europa League. It would also be a good step up on a sporting level in the Eredivisie. For FC Groningen, the departure of Van Bergen would be a blow. The striker was directly involved in fourteen goals in the Eredivisie last season. Van Bergen scored nine times, while he gave five assists. Van Bergen is a crucial pawn in the high-pressing football that Dick Lukkien plays with FC Groningen. Read more about this in the analysis below on VI PRO.
