Is Super League missing out on national team U21 player?: Half of Europe chasing Thun newcomer Daniel Dos Santos

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Daniel Dos Santos (21) joins the U21 national team this week with a particularly high level of self-confidence. With Thun he recently won the difficult away match at Leader Sion and made the promotion race against Valais extremely exciting again.

And Dos Santos himself works too. The attacking midfielder is the current Challenge League Player of the Year, a Swiss U21 national player and also top scorer for the Bernese Oberland with eight goals.

In short: As one of the best players in the competition, Dos Santos is a promise for the future. It makes sense that Thun’s homegrown team, with roots in Portugal, would also attract interest from Super League clubs.

Another top deal for the Challenge League after Surdez?

But no Swiss club has yet completed a deal for Ernst, even though the contract only runs until 2025. Is the Super League missing the Challenge League jewel? According to information from Blick, clubs from half of Europe are now after the U21 player of the national team. There would be particular interest in dual nationality from Portugal. But also from the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.

Are you leaving the Challenge League directly abroad? Franck Surdez (21) already demonstrated this this winter. Dos Santos’ colleague from the national team left Xamax for Ghent in Belgium with seven strong goals and seven assists. Instead of in the Super League. Also because of the price tag: Ghent still transferred 1.3 million to Xamax, despite the fact that the contract still had a year and a half left. Countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands and Portugal are markets that the top competitions like to serve. Because a resale can be a real investment, clubs can bring more to the table when purchasing. Ghent even struck Surdez with a deal worth a million dollars.

Will Dos Santos also go abroad this summer? One thing is certain: every franc is good for the cash-strapped FC Thun. Even though the transfer fee comes from the Super League.
