AZ Alkmaar's 20-year-old rising star, Kees Smit, is enjoying an exceptional season and has caught the attention of Barcelona, according to "Mundo Deportivo." The midfielder first made his mark in the Conference League playoffs against Levski and has since maintained his impressive form, showcasing remarkable vision and box-to-box dynamism.
One of Smit's biggest admirers is national team coach and Barcelona legend Ronald Koeman, who recently handed him his first call-up to the "Oranje" squad during the last training camp. Koeman even draws comparisons between Smit and Barcelona's Pedri, citing their similar playing style and on-field presence. The talented midfielder is under contract with AZ Alkmaar until 2028, with his current market value estimated at 25 million euros, though experts predict it could soon rise to 50 million.
