AZ's recent signing, Sam de Grand, a 21-year-old left-back, was acquired from Lommel for a reported €1.5 million in July. However, De Grand has yet to feature in the Eredivisie. VoetbalPrimeur reports that Lommel is exploring the possibility of loaning De Grand back to the club. This decision may be influenced by the status of Mees de Wit, who was initially set to leave AZ but has yet to make a move. AZ's current position as the top team in the Eredivisie, winning three consecutive matches, may also impact this decision.
