AZ has attracted Riechedly Bazoer. The 25-year-old midfielder was transfer-free after his departure from Vitesse and will sign a contract in Alkmaar until the summer of 2025. This makes him the intended successor of Fredrik Midtsjø, who has received permission from AZ to complete his transfer to Galatasaray. to round.
“It feels fantastic to be here,” Bazoer says on the AZ website. “I had good conversations with Max Huiberts and Pascal Jansen. It became clear what they intend to do with me and I had a very positive feeling about that. I can’t wait to start. AZ is always a good team, plays good positional play and is on the ball a lot. I like that. Everything is right and I am happy to sign here today.”
Bazoer played for years in the youth of PSV, where Ajax took him away in 2012. In 2014 he made his debut in Ajax’s first team and was given a promising future. VfL Wolfsburg picked him up in 2017 and the German club rented him out to FC Porto and FC Utrecht. That all turned out to be not very successful, after which Bazoer ended up at Vitesse in 2019.
