FC Groningen have reportedly strengthened their squad with Nikolas Brandis. The Slovakian youth international arrives as a replacement for the departed Marvin Peersman and has signed a contract until the summer of 2030.
A product of AS Trencin’s academy, the 21-year-old left-footer progressed through the youth system’s ranks and has been described by the Slovaks as a ‘prodigy’.
The Pride of the North look to be getting a determined young player who already boasts senior and youth international experience.
Brandis broke through at Trencin in 2023 and, after a loan spell in the second tier with Puchov in the 2024/25 season, became one of the club’s mainstays, making 22 appearances last season as his team finished ninth. He also has 10 caps for Slovakia’s U21 set up.
As mentioned earlier, Brandis comes in as a Marvin Peersman replacement after his move to Telstar. The Puchov native will serve as great competition for fellow youngster Wouter Prins in the left-back spot.
