Netherlands-Cameroon right-back Steven van der Sloot of ADO Den Haag is being linked with a summer switch to German side 1.FC Magdeburg in the 2. Bundesliga.
Data from Transfermarkt lists the probability of a move at 36%, with the defender’s current market value set at €650,000. The speculation comes as uncertainty remains over his contractual situation in The Hague, with no expiry date publicly recorded and the possibility he could move on in the near future, either for a fee or, in time, as a free agent if his deal is allowed to run down.
Van der Sloot, 23, was born in Limbe and holds both Dutch and Cameroonian nationality. Standing at 1.75m and predominantly right-footed, he has established himself as a specialist right-back for ADO Den Haag in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, wearing the number 2 shirt. He is currently registered with the Dutch club as his “national team” on Transfermarkt, underlining how central he has become to their set‑up.
The rumoured interest from Magdeburg would offer Van der Sloot a first move into German football, stepping up from the Dutch second tier to a 2. Bundesliga environment that has increasingly targeted young, mobile full-backs. Scouts are understood to be tracking his recent performances, with his latest outing for ADO in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie coming in early June 2026, when he featured at right-back in a tightly contested league fixture, contributing defensively in a game that underlined his consistency and athleticism.
With his age profile, dual nationality and relatively modest valuation, Van der Sloot represents a potentially cost-effective option for Magdeburg. Should the transfer materialise, it could mark a pivotal stage in his career, opening a pathway towards a higher-profile European platform and enhancing his reputation as a modern, attack-minded defender.
