On the contrary, Dirk Kuyt can expect to receive significant reinforcements.
Walter Damen confident in the future
Walter Damen, who is stepping down as vice president but remains involved in another role, told The Latest News. He said it was a positive sign that Selahattin Baki, the Turkish representative of major shareholder Saudi Arabia, now sees his responsibilities expanded to help the club avoid relegation.
“I have met him on numerous occasions, and it is obvious that he is determined to keep the club in the first division. We are delighted that the main shareholder is sending a person who will be almost permanently at the club and who maintains a direct contact with Prince Abdullah”, said Damen, expressing his full confidence in this collaboration.
Baki is already working to save Beerschot
Damen also revealed that reinforcements are actively sought for maintenance, an approach supported by Selahattin Baki. According to The Newspaperhe is already hard at work negotiating with several potential recruits whom he wishes to attract to Kiel from January.
Bartug Elmaz an approche?
