With Dutch winger Dippy bidding farewell to Sporting Madrid in the summer transfer window, his career seemed to be plunged into the unknown. However, the 30-year-old shot-stopper has not gone quiet and has found new opportunities in South America. According to the latest reports from "transfer guru" Fabrizio Romano, Dippy has reached a verbal agreement with Brazilian side Golentes, with both sides expected to sign a two-year deal.
During his season with Sporting Madrid, Diby made 31 appearances and contributed 9 goals. Due to the La Liga giants' decision to reshuffle their roster, they were unable to extend Diby's contract, and the goalscorer eventually left the club as a free agent. Although there were rumors that two other Spanish teams, Xavier and Juarez, were also interested in Dibi, the Colombian side is the one he wants to be with. Both sides have agreed on a salary package and are just waiting to sign the official contract. Everything seems to be in order and an official announcement is expected soon.
Although the tradition of European players traveling to South America to play soccer is not rare, the trend has been quietly changing in recent years. Corrientes signed Spanish striker Hidalgo Nandis last month. Now, with the addition of Dibi, the club seems intent on creating a new line of European strikers.
