Mohamed Ihattaren Signals Departure from RKC Waalwijk After Recent Victory

"I’m happy with the victory, but at the same time disappointed. I have the feeling that this was my last match with RKC. To be clear: it’s a feeling, nothing is certain yet. But I think most people know that this was my last match for RKC," Ihattaren said after the victory against Go Ahead Eagles (5-3), confirming rumors about his transfer.

For now, the next destination of the former PSV and Ajax player is unknown. "My agent (José Fortes Rodriguez, ed.) knows what I want. We often talk about everything that’s happening. I hope I can make a good decision in a few weeks. I hope I can take a nice step forward. As long as nothing is certain yet, I can’t say much more," he confided.

What is certain is that the young 23-year-old striker prefers to continue his career in the Dutch league. "My agent knows that I really want to stay in the Netherlands. I feel that I’m not finished here yet." The former Ajax player wants to "continue to play a lot of minutes. Take step-by-step milestones towards the top."

While waiting for his potential transfer, Ihattaren plans to enjoy his vacation. "The first thing I’m going to do now is take a few days off. Then I’ll continue to work quietly for myself and I’ll see when José calls me. Wherever I go, I’ll take my mother with me."
