Daily Loos 23 de mai. de 2026 17:37+03:00 Traduzido por **Sparta midfielder Joshua Kitolano speaks openly about his free transfer departure and Feyenoord’s interest: “There was no continuity.”**
Sparta midfielder Joshua Kitolano missed out on a transfer to Feyenoord this winter, as the Norwegian revealed to Voetbal International magazine. However, his departure from Spangen is now on the cards: after four seasons, he will leave the club on a free transfer. He is ready for new challenges.
Kitolano, 24, arrived in the summer of 2022 from Norway’s Odds BK for approximately 600,000 euros. The signing was a success. At Spangen, the skilled midfielder became a key player in the squad.
In 126 appearances for the Rotterdam team, he scored 14 goals and provided nine assists. This season, he found the net five times, including twice in the away match against rivals Feyenoord. Here’s a summary of the text in English:
Midfielder Kitolano expressed sadness about leaving Sparta on a free transfer, similar to striker Tobias Lauritsen. He had hoped to “give back” to the club by generating a transfer fee, despite feeling he contributed with strong performances, including a win against Feyenoord.
Kitolano also revealed past missed opportunities, including two previous chances to join Feyenoord before Sparta, and another potential move to Feyenoord last winter. He attributes these failed transfers to “bad timing” and injuries during transfer windows.
Despite this, he denies a lack of interest, mentioning Bodø/Glimt as a serious candidate and acknowledging “much interest” from various clubs. However, he expresses frustration that this interest has often not materialized into concrete offers, stating his current priority is to find a club that genuinely wants him.
