Real Betis and Como track AZ hotshot Troy Parrott, PSV also interested

Real Betis and Como track AZ hotshot Troy Parrott, PSV also interested AZ striker Troy Parrott is reportedly being tracked by several European clubs, as well as Eredivisie champions PSV. After a brilliant personal season in Alkmaar, the Irish international scored 31 goals and registered 10 assists in all competitions last term – not to mention 16 goals in 28 Eredivisie games, and 10 goals in 15 Europa Conference League outings. As per journalist Ben Jacobs , Parrott is being watched by Real Betis in La Liga and Como in Serie A. PSV are also said to have inquired about Parrott, but the amount AZ is demanding appears to be higher than the Philips Stadion residents will pay. Jacobs has also mentioned Ajax, but Tolu Arokodare’s signing from Wolverhampton Wanderers has taken them out of the running. The 24-year-old Parrott is under contract in Alkmaar until 2029, and AZ hopes to receive a large fee. The club had hoped for a record fee in January. The current record is held by Tijjani Reijnders, who moved to AC Milan for nearly 25 million euros. AZ were braced for bids for their star striker earlier this summer. Such was the case back in June that Groningen’s Thom van Bergen was highlighted as a potential Parrott replacement. GBeNeFN  |  Max Bradfield
