Heerenveen rejects three bids from FC Utrecht for midfielder Joris van Overeem. The Frisian club believes that the bids do not match the player's sporting value to the team.

FC Utrecht made a total of three bids to acquire Van Overeem from Heerenveen. The most recent bid was made about a month ago.

Why is this important for Heerenveen?

Van Overeem was elected Player of the Year last season and Heerenveen is therefore not willing to let him go easily. The club has confidence in the midfielder and wants to keep him.

What comes next?

Heerenveen is currently in 8th place in the Eredivisie with 51 points, 14 wins, 9 draws and 11 losses. The recent form is DLWWL. | Competition | Points | | Eredivisie | 51 |
