The 2. Bundesliga club's local Braunschweiger Zeitung has long reported on a potential transfer for the Amsterdam native. It is thought that Pherai's current contract contains an exit clause that will allow him to depart for some €1 million this summer. As Pherai's star rises, the Lower Saxon club might find it hard to resist cashing in on him for up to €3 million in January.
Germany's main sporting tabloid, drawing upon some of the earlier reportage in the local newspaper, claims that at least three Bundesliga clubs are considering spending such a some. Company teams Bayer 04 Leverkusen, VfL Wolfsburg are linked with Pherai, as are Borussia Mönchengladbach.
BTSV sporting director Peter Vollmann recently confided that he had received interest in Pherai from top-flight clubs when speaking to the Braunschweiger Zeitung. The club executive noted that he could do little to stop better financially positioned clubs from knocking on the player's door.
