Mees Hilgers Transfer Rumors to Crystal Palace: Fact or Speculation?
Bornheimer – A surprising report has emerged from the Netherlands, suggesting that Indonesian center-back Mees Hilgers is a target for Premier League club Crystal Palace. The rumor gained traction after Hilgers was notably absent from FC Twente’s lineup in their Eredivisie opener against PEC Zwolle. His omission sparked speculation that the player may be preparing for a new adventure in his career.

Origin of the Transfer Rumor
The first whispers of the transfer rumor came from the Twente fanbase account, Twente Insite. The account reported that Hilgers had expressed his desire to take his career to the next level. However, despite these claims, there has been little to no concrete interest from other clubs so far. Factors such as inconsistent performances last season and Hilgers’ relatively high market value are believed to be contributing to the limited interest.
Crystal Palace’s Interest in Hilgers
Several Dutch and English journalists have mentioned that Crystal Palace is one of the clubs monitoring Hilgers’ situation. However, the rumor remains unconfirmed by either party at this point. Crystal Palace is reportedly in the market for a new central defender as they look to bolster their defensive line before the transfer window closes.
Mees Hilgers’ Market Value
According to transfer market data, Hilgers’ value is around 6.5 million euros, or approximately IDR 122 billion. This price tag is considered quite high for a player who made his professional debut only in 2020. Nevertheless, at just 24 years old, Hilgers is seen as an attractive long-term investment for any club looking to strengthen their defense.
Career and Achievements with FC Twente
Hilgers, a product of FC Twente’s academy, has made a significant impact since breaking into the first team. With 132 appearances across all competitions, he has proven himself as a reliable defender for Twente in recent seasons. His calm playing style and ability to read the game have made him a key figure in the team’s defense.
Transfer Deadline and Future Uncertainty
The summer transfer window will officially close on September 1st. Whether Crystal Palace will make a move for Mees Hilgers or if this rumor is just speculation remains uncertain. Indonesian football fans are hopeful that Hilgers can make history by playing in the English Premier League, marking a significant milestone in his career.
