Dirk Proper: A Potential Move from NEC to AZ

Dirk Proper has long been recognized as one of the most promising talents in the Eredivisie. However, in recent months, he has found himself languishing on the bench at NEC. Despite this setback, a potential upward move in 2026 appears to be on the horizon for him.

There are indications that the young midfielder may soon be in the sights of AZ, as reported by FootballTransfers. With Kees Smit and Sven Mijnan likely to depart this summer or even as early as winter, and considering that Jordy Clasie is now in the twilight of his career, facing more frequent physical ailments, Proper could be a valuable addition to the team.
