9:45 – FC Twente wants to try to bring Eljero Elia back to the Netherlands. The Tukkers hope that they can seduce the transfer-free winger to return to Enschede. In any case, he has announced that he is open to discussions with the club management. However, there is competition from various foreign clubs.
That writes Football International. Earlier rumors came out that Elia was on the lists of FC Twente. The former international (33) played at FC Twente between 2007 and 2009 and will be transfer-free next summer after his upcoming departure from Istanbul BB.

Only after the season does Elia want to talk to other clubs, because there is also interest from Turkey. Besiktas wanted to take him over from Istanbul BB in winter, while Sivasspor has also signed up for after this year. The Argentinian Talleres was also interested in the winter break, but Istanbul BB does not want to let him go. In fact, the club still hopes to extend Elia’s contract.
FC Twente is also working on the return of El Ahmadi. Like Elia, the midfielder will only take a decision about his future in a while. In any case, he will have to play football at Al-Ittihad until the beginning of September, which has yet to complete the competition in Saudi Arabia.
