Targeted by FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, Kees Smit discusses his future

Last Sunday, AZ Alkmaar won the Dutch Cup final by crushing NEC Nijmegen (5-1). A crazy match where the Kaasboeren were able to collect a first trophy since 2013. Cornerstone of the Dutch team, midfielder Kees Smit (20 years old) is coming off a full exercise (5 goals and 10 assists in 44 matches). International with the Oranjes, he is in the sights of FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.

After the meeting, he took stock of his future with De Telegraaf : “nothing guarantees my departure. I’m not sure myself. But suppose I leave: if the offer is interesting, it will be a major asset for the club.» It is already estimated at an amount of around 50 million euros.
