Steven van der Sloot Attracts Interest from Four European Clubs

Steven van der Sloot, the standout wing‑back for ADO Den Haag, is linked with a move after the club’s promotion. FC Utrecht, FC Köln, SC Paderborn and Rapid Wien have all been reported as interested.

ADO Den Haag secured promotion to the Eredivisie this season. Van der Sloot’s performances contributed to the defensive solidity that helped achieve promotion.

FC Utrecht, competing in the Dutch Eredivisie, is the only Dutch side shown to monitor the player. German clubs FC Köln and SC Paderborn, both playing in the 2. Bundesliga, have also expressed interest. Austria’s Rapid Wien, a regular contender in the Austrian Bundesliga, rounds out the reported suitors.

The interest emerges as the summer transfer window approaches. A move would represent van der Sloot’s first senior transfer abroad.

ADO Den Haag could negotiate a fee that reflects the player’s rising profile. The outcome will shape the defender’s next career step and impact the club’s post‑promotion squad planning.
