Steven Berghuis’ Struggles and Potential Move to the USA

omidbasir- This week, Steven Berghuis returned to training with Ajax for the first time in a while. However, journalist Job van Kempen from Het Parool questions whether the left-footed player still identifies as a footballer.

At 34, Berghuis is becoming increasingly overlooked due to persistent injury issues that have plagued his season. “The irony of his situation is that the strong aspects of his game continue to improve. His game awareness has sharpened with age, and the finesse in his left foot is developing further. Yet, due to physical setbacks, Berghuis feels like a fish out of water.”

Recently, Berghuis has been speculated to be considering a transfer to the United States. Insider WFCGroningen reported on X that “Seattle Sounders FC finds Steven Berghuis (34, CAM/RW) from Ajax intriguing. While I don’t expect a transfer to happen, his name is being discussed internally there.” Additionally, it was mentioned that another American club has shown interest, although its identity remains undisclosed.
