NEC is interested in Kristian Hlynsson, but only a loan transfer is possible for them due to financial constraints. Ajax is aiming for a permanent transfer, and it's uncertain if Ajax is open to a loan. NEC is exploring other options for their midfield as well, and there's skepticism about whether Hlynsson would significantly benefit them, especially with Sano temporarily out due to injury.

NEC has made inquiries about Kristian Hlynsson at the Johan Cruijff Arena as they search for a new attacking midfielder. Kristian Hlynsson is among the candidates for this role, alongside Isaac Babadi and Dani de Wit. Hlynsson, who was a regular starter for Ajax last season, has fallen out of favor with the new coach Francesco Farioli, which has led Ajax to consider a potential departure for the player. In addition to NEC, FC Twente and clubs from the Tweede Bundesliga have also expressed interest in him. However, Twente has encountered difficulties with Hlynsson's salary demands while attempting to arrange a loan deal. This season, Hlynsson has participated in nine matches for Ajax's first team, scoring once, and he has recently played for Jong Ajax in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie.
