Dutch heavyweight makes €3m move for SC Cambuur winger Ilyes Hamache

SC Cambuur have received an offer worth between two and three million euros for Ilyes Hamache, with one of the Netherlands’ leading clubs seeking to sign the 23-year-old winger.

Hamache joined the Leeuwarden club from Schalke 04 last summer and has quickly become an important player in the Eredivisie. His goals, assists and dribbling ability have attracted interest as clubs begin to plan for the next transfer window.

According to Willem Vermeltfoort, the financial proposal has been submitted to SC Cambuur’s directors. The identity of the interested club has not been disclosed, and it is also unclear whether Cambuur would be prepared to sell.

Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord are among the clubs reported to be monitoring Hamache, who came through the academy at Valenciennes. The offer is understood to have come from an established Dutch club, although no formal confirmation has been given about the exact identity of the suitor.

SC Cambuur are in a strong negotiating position because Hamache’s contract runs until 30 June 2029. His agreement also includes an option to extend it for another season.

The Lille-born forward has made an impact at the start of this campaign, contributing to eight goals in the first 12 league matches. He has scored five times and provided three assists during that period.

Hamache arrived at SC Cambuur after his spell with Schalke 04 and has established himself as a key attacking player in the side. His performances in the Eredivisie have now prompted a multi-million-euro approach from a club competing at the top level in the Netherlands.

SC Cambuur are due to play their 13th league match against FC Utrecht. The listed odds for the fixture are 3.10 for a SC Cambuur victory, 3.75 for a draw and 2.00 for an Utrecht win.
