Kaj Sierhuis was on the verge of a lucrative move to Cyprus, but the transfer fell through at the last minute. The 28-year-old striker, who is leaving Fortuna Sittard on a free transfer, had seen a lucrative adventure on the island in southern Europe as a done deal. Lucrative transfer Kaj Sierhuis fell through at the last minute Kaj Sierhuis seemed to be on the verge of a lucrative adventure in Cyprus this summer, but the transfer was ultimately cancelled. The striker, who is leaving Fortuna Sittard on a free transfer in July, was close to agreeing a financially attractive move, but ultimately a line was drawn through the deal last week. The attacker was personally very close to an agreement with the unknown Cypriot club, and even had an Eredivisie club withdraw from the deal. Sierhuis has had a good season in Sittard with 13 goals. He was particularly on fire in the Eredivisie just before and after the winter break. His market value is reportedly around 1.8 million euros, but he is a free transfer this summer. The cancelled deal has left Sierhuis's future wide open. SoccerNews knows that NEC was also in the market for the striker. The negotiations with the Nijmegeners looked good, but after the concrete interest and offer from Cyprus, Sierhuis decided to end the talks with NEC. According to ESPN, FC Utrecht is now also in the running for Sierhuis. The cancelled deal in Cyprus has given the Dutch clubs a chance to make a comeback in the fight for his signature. Anthony Correia would see him as an ideal reinforcement for the front line in the Domstad. Eredivisie or Cyprus? Eredivisie, of course. Nice for the foreign adventure, but Eredivisie, of course. 0 Votes Kaj Sierhuis FC Utrecht NEC Read more Feyenoord and NEC still far apart: gap of several million ‘Correia goes wild in Utrecht: Telstar-outrunner and Sierhuis join’ ‘Boekhoorn to Amsterdam: NEC wants to do business with Ajax’ PSV shows renewed interest in Sano, Japanese player open to transfer to league champion Correia brings next reinforcement to Utrecht NEC disappoints Boekhoorn: “We're stopping” ‘Cathline leaves Utrecht: only two players were more expensive’ ‘Ajax, NEC and Utrecht fight for the same player’ ‘El Karouani still to Eredivisie top club’ ‘Bizarre statement Derksen in VI: sunstroke’ Share on social media: Latest news Oranje 09:40 0+ Sneijder surprises with statement on WK chances Oranje Eredivisie 09:20 188+ ‘Feyenoord wants to be faster than PSV: deal of 8 million’ LaLiga 09:00 9+ Dumfries reacts himself to transfer to Real Madrid Oranje 08:40 31+ Clear verdict: one Oranje player can forget his place Oranje 08:20 24+ Hans Kraay is shocked: 2 Oranje internationals ‘not fit’ Eredivisie 08:00 610+ Surprise: ‘Hakim Ziyech signs in Eredivisie’ Eredivisie 07:30 139+ ‘Dusan Tadic gets a call from Ajax after Míchel's arrival’ Report 07:10 150+ Report Netherlands: top debut Summerville, 4 unsatisfactory WK preparations 23:47 166+ Koeman full of praise after Oranje failure: “That's why he's there” WK preparations 23:34 119+ Virgil van Dijk not pleased with NOS question WK preparations 23:19 52+ ‘Feyenoord stone
