WILLEMSTAD – The name of Juninho Bacuna is being linked to a possible move to FC Volendam, according to reports from several media outlets in the Netherlands. The Curaçao international currently plays for Gaziantep FK in Turkey but has seen limited playing time this season.
Bacuna, who previously played for FC Groningen and Rangers FC, has made nine appearances in the Süper Lig this campaign. Only two of those matches were as a starter, meaning the midfielder has not featured regularly in Gaziantep’s lineup.
With Curaçao preparing for its historic participation in the upcoming World Cup, Bacuna is reportedly keen to remain match-fit and maintain his competitive rhythm. Regular playing time is seen as crucial in the build-up to the tournament, particularly for key players in the national squad.
FC Volendam is currently looking to strengthen its midfield options. While head coach Rick Kruys has not publicly mentioned any specific names, the Noordhollands Dagblad has linked the Curaçao international to the club as a potential reinforcement.
A move to Volendam could offer Bacuna more consistent minutes at a competitive level, something that may benefit both the player and the Curaçao national team as preparations for the World Cup intensify. For now, neither FC Volendam nor Bacuna has officially commented on the reported interest.
