Volendam signs Juventus striker, transfer nears
FC Volendam is on the verge of signing a new transfer, with 21-year-old striker Serigne Deme from Juventus Next Gen expected to join the club. The Italian striker scored four goals in 33 games last season.
The Italian club La Casadic broke the news about Deme. The Italian striker has been active at the Old Lady for a year and a half, but now seems to be on his way out of Italy. Juventus took the attacker over from Serie D-club Sasso Marconi in 2025.
Last season, the 21-year-old striker was active with the youth team of Juventus. In the Serie C, he scored four goals in 33 games last season. Deme extended his contract with Juventus just a year ago, which still runs until mid-2028.
It is unclear whether Volendam will take the striker definitively or on loan. Volendam has experience with Italian players. In recent years, Samuele Mulattieri and Gaeatano Oristanio were hired from Internazionale. In 2024, the club also reported on a partnership with Udinese.
Why it matters for Volendam
The arrival of Deme brings a new chapter in the Italian-Volendam relations. Volendam has already hired Italian players in the past, but this is a significant step towards a strong Italian department.
What comes next
Volendam has not yet made a decision on the transfer of Deme. The club will likely need a few more days to finalize the details of the transfer. But one thing is certain: the Palingboeren are on their way to a strong Italian department.
Volendam in the Eredivisie
