Tijs Velthuis, a Dutch defender currently with Salernitana, has reportedly been considered a flop in the summer transfer market. He joined Salernitana on loan from Sparta Rotterdam and has played only eight matches so far, with limited appearances especially between September and November. It is noted that Salernitana holds an option to buy, which could become mandatory based on certain criteria, but at present, the possibility of exercising this option appears remote. Velthuis has not yet demonstrated readiness for Serie B and might leave the club during the January transfer window, according to Tuttosalernitana.com.
