Dusseldorf has signed Steven van der Sloot. The 23-year-old right-back underwent medical tests on Thursday and wore the Fortuna Dusseldorf jersey for the first time.

What happened?

The transfer of van der Sloot was initiated by Sven Mislintat months ago. The Dutchman received a contract for the 3rd league, but with an exit clause of 500,000 euros.

Why is van der Sloot unhappy?

Van der Sloot wants to leave the club and exercise the exit clause. Dusseldorf would also like to receive the money, but so far, there is no other club that wants to sign the Dutchman.

What does the press release say?

The official press release from the club says a lot without saying anything. There is no mention of the contract duration and no quote from van der Sloot. Manager Samir Arabi comments on the transfer in a subdued tone.

What's next?

It remains to be seen if van der Sloot will actually leave the club. Sportingly, the Dutchman would be a great help for Dusseldorf, but the player has no interest in playing in the 3rd league.
