Barcelona target Ruud Nijstad scores for FC Twente in win over Cambuur

FC Twente defender Ruud Nijstad scored in a 4-1 Eredivisie victory against Cambuur at the Cambuur Stadium on August 30, 2026. The 22-year-old opened the scoring midway through the first half by striking a left-footed shot from outside the penalty area into the top corner. Barcelona has been linked to Nijstad as a potential transfer target for some time, with the club expressing interest at the end of the previous season. Rumors regarding a move to the Catalans resurfaced following the departure of Alvaro Cortes to Royal Antwerp. While speculation continues to circulate, a transfer appears unlikely before the window closes on August 31, 2026. Nijstad has previously expressed a public interest in playing alongside Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi.
