AZ sees Resink's injury as a unique opportunity to sign him for a relatively low price, according to Voetbal International. Under normal circumstances, it would not be possible for AZ to sign Resink, but the club's chances have been boosted by the midfielder's current inability to play due to a cruciate ligament injury. Resink is still under contract with FC Groningen until 2028.
Resink was a top candidate for AZ, and the club's interest in him predates his injury. Benfica had also been interested in signing the midfielder last winter, with Resink personally agreeing to join the Portuguese club. However, the deal fell through due to FC Groningen blocking the transfer. The injury that has now given AZ an opportunity to sign Resink occurred shortly after Benfica's interest.
AZ's move for Resink is still in its early stages, with the clubs yet to reach an agreement. Despite this, the fact that AZ has made contact with FC Groningen suggests that the club is serious about signing the midfielder. Voetbal International's report provides a glimpse into the complex negotiations surrounding Resink's potential transfer.
