Max de Waal, a 22-year-old midfielder and forward, has joined VVV-Venlo on loan from Willem II. De Waal, an Ajax youth academy graduate, was acquired by Willem II on a free transfer last year but failed to secure a regular starting position. He has not played any minutes in the Eredivisie this season. VVV-Venlo provided him with an opportunity, and he is eager to get playing time and feels a lot of trust from the club. VVV-Venlo's coach, John Lammers, conveyed his satisfaction with the acquisition, emphasizing De Waal's potential and goal-scoring ability.

VVV-Venlo has strengthened its squad with the addition of Max de Waal during the final hours of the summer transfer market. The Limburg club announced his arrival through online channels. De Waal joins on a loan basis from Willem II. The 22-year-old midfielder-cum-forward progressed through Ajax's youth academy and was loaned out multiple times. Last year, Willem II acquired him from Ajax on a free transfer. However, he was unable to secure a regular starting spot at Willem II, and this season he has not played a minute in the Eredivisie. VVV offered him an opportunity for more playing time and has loaned the midfielder from the Eredivisie club.
