Parrott price tag: AZ aim high amidst Premier League interest
AZ are hopeful of breaking the outgoing transfer record this summer. According to De Telegraaf (via VoetbalPrimeur) the Alkmaarders want a large sum for Troy Parrott, who is enjoying interest from newly promoted Premier League club Leeds United.
Due to the development of Mexx Meerdink, who scored a hat-trick against sc Heerenveen on Thursday, it isn't ridiculous to suggest that AZ will cooperate in Parrott's departure. The 23-year-old Irishman came over from Tottenham Hotspur last summer for four million euros, but is expected to bring a much larger profit.

Freshly promoted Leeds United have reportedly been told that Parrott is worth no less than thirty million euros, according to De Telegraaf.
While Leeds believe that price is too high for their liking, Parrott has still scored 20 goals and provided five assists in 46 official matches this season, meriting a gamble of such proportions.
In the meantime, AZ coach Maarten Martens did not want to say who would be in the starting line-up for Sunday's play-off final against FC Twente. It seems that the Irish international's recovery from injury and Meerdink's recent purple patch gives the Belgian manager a selection dilemma.
Currently, the outgoing transfer record at AZ is held by Alireza Jahanbakhsh, who left for Brighton in 2018 for 22.5 million euros. Vincent Janssen follows in second place with his transfer to Tottenham worth 22 million, while Tijjani Reijnders brought in 20.5 million with his transfer to AC Milan.
