"How long do I see myself at AZ? I think six months or a year and a half. After that, I hope to have taken the next step. I expect my transfer to be completed for 30 million, It would be AZ's most expensive sale and would be good for the club. My next step is outside of the Netherlands. I don't find it difficult to accept. In fact, I think it's wonderful, and I've started thinking about it."
"My next step is outside of the Netherlands. I don't find it difficult to accept. In fact, I think it's wonderful, and I've started thinking about it. I was even a little shocked because I didn't expect the Dutch national team press conference to be about me. But I watched it several times. The more I watched it, the more I liked it."
Kees Smit will leave AZ Alkmaar within six to eighteen months. He expects a 30 million transfer fee and anticipates being AZ's most expensive sale, which would benefit the club financially. Smit plans to continue his career outside the Netherlands and has begun considering his next step abroad. He has featured in 58 competitive matches for AZ. Ronald Koeman compared him to Pedri, a compliment Smit received with surprise and appreciation. Smit regards breaking into the Dutch national team as a significant challenge amid competition from established midfielders such as Frenkie de Jong.
