Melayro Bogarde

[moore_94]

21 years old and his contract runs out in the summer

 

Very interesting versatile option as he has played centre back, right back, and defensive mid in recent seasons - Ricardo understudy maybe?

 

Hasn't really played much top division football though

The Dutch Juniors international is faced with a choice: Italy, Leicester or Eredivisie

 

Melayro Bogarde can make a nice transfer after this season, VoetbalPrimeur knows. The 21-year-old defender of TSG Hoffenheim is facing a transfer-free exit and has attracted the interest of a number of foreign clubs. From January he will be free to talk to other clubs.

 

After VP revealed on Sunday morning that Bogarde will not extend his contract with Hoffenheim, this website is now also reporting the first interested clubs. This includes  Leicester City , the leader of the Championship, and the Italian Bologna. In the event of a transfer to Bologna, Bogarde could meet well-known compatriots such as Joshua Zirkzee and Sam Beukema . A number of clubs from the Eredivisie are also monitoring the situation surrounding Dutch talent. Bogarde - a cousin of Winston Bogarde - is not unsympathetic to a possible return to the Netherlands.

 

Bogarde left for Hoffenheim at a young age, where then coach Alfred Schreuder made his debut at the age of eighteen. The defender thus became the youngest Dutch debutant ever in the Bundesliga. Since then he has made eleven league appearances, but a real breakthrough failed to materialize. Bogarde played for Feyenoord as a youth, after which he switched to Germany in 2018. In 2022, the multifunctional defender spent another six months on loan for FC Groningen. PEC Zwolle also rented him for a period afterwards. Bogarde does not yet feature in Hoffenheim's plans this season. He plays his matches for the second team, so the defender sees no point in contract extension.

We picked up our usual Villa reject in Arjan Raikhy

 

Also got Silko Thomas on a free from Chelsea and he looks to be decent so far

This is absolutely shocking and glorious in equal measure.

If we sign him, hopefully he'll turn out to be a wonDIRKid.

Yeah. Just seems like a lazy trope. We barely sign anyone 'just for the dev squad'

 

If we did they might be more successful

when people do lookalikes that look nothing like the other person i realise how ****ed a lot of people's vision and face recognition is. no wonder eye witnesses are notoriously garbage.
