Danilho Doekhi (23) will continue his career in Germany or Scotland. Union Berlin seem to be the main candidates to sign the captain of Vitesse, while Rangers of coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst also hopes for the arrival of Doekhi. The central defender, in his fourth season in Arnhem and this season for the first captain, is free and announced his departure. In the winter break Doekhi decided to stay despite interest from various clubs (including Rangers at the time), partly because Vitesse won the European winter.
Union Berlin, who also have Sheraldo Becker under contract, think they can win the battle for Doekhi. The club hopes to win a European ticket again on Saturday at home against VfL Bochum. Doekhi has already hinted that he wants to choose a club where he can play European games again. Playing in the Bundesliga now seems to be the deciding factor over the less appealing Scottish league. Doekhi played before Vitesse for Excelsior and Jong Ajax. Under Thomas Letsch he developed the last two seasons excellent at Vitesse. In addition to Doekhi, Riechedly Bazer and Eli Dasa will also leave Vitesse on a transfer-free basis, while mercenaries Jakob Rasmussen and Loïs Openda will return to their proper employers.
