Vincent Vermeij is attracting interest from the third league. According to 'WAZ', Rot-Weiss Essen has shown interest in the forward from Fortuna Düsseldorf. The club had previously been interested in the Dutch player during the summer. Vermeij, who joined Fortuna Düsseldorf in 2023 from the second team of SC Freiburg, has scored 15 goals and provided four assists in 48 appearances. It was suggested that a loan to Essen would only be conceivable if Fortuna Düsseldorf would cover a part of the salary for the striker, who is currently not in high demand.
