Why NEC hasn't yet financed the new Goffert

NEC has generated over €70m from player sales but hasn't yet secured financing for their Goffert stadium renovation project.

NEC have cashed in significantly on the transfer market over the past 18 months, selling players including Kodai Sano, Robin Roefs, Basar Önal and Sami Ouaissa for a combined €70m on paper. Despite this windfall, the club has not yet finalized financing for the planned renovation of Goffert stadium. Technical director Carlos Aalbers noted the contrast between earlier transfer milestones and recent sales, saying that while the Roefs transfer sparked widespread celebration, the subsequent departures of Önal (€12.5m) and Sano (€15m) generated far less fanfare internally.
