Youssef El Kachati finally exchanges Telstar for NEC. The promotion hero of ‘De Witte Leeuwen’ was presented in De Goffert on Wednesday afternoon. NEC has also completed the transfer of the Argentinian keeper Gonzalo Crettaz.
El Kachati was picked up by Telstar in 2023 at Quick Boys. Initially he was in the shadow of Zakaria Eddahchouri. But when it left at the beginning of 2025, El Kachati came loose in Velsen-Zuid. With 24 goals, he had a large share in the surprising promotion from Telstar to the Eredivisie.
So next season El Kachati will be the opponent of Telstar. He signed at NEC until mid -2028, with an option in another season. El Kachati had the clubs for choosing after his strong second half of the season. After achieving the promotion, he already confirmed that NEC was interested.
“We have shown all our interest in Youssef well before the play-offs and had a first conversation. With his big contribution in the last matches for Telstar, he finally put himself on the map,” says NEC director Carlos Aalbers. “We think we get a player who is very targeted and will also catch on with the supporters with his work.”
NEC has also announced the arrival of keeper Crettaz. The 25-year-old Argentinian comes from the Spanish Castellón, where he worked under the current NEC trainer Dick Schreuder. He signs for three years.
“Gonzalo is known at the technical staff and fits well in the desired playing method,” says Aalbers. “Because of his good performance and transfer -free status, he was interesting for various clubs and that is why we had to decide quickly.”
After Robin Roefs, Stijn van Gassel and Rijk Janse, Crettaz becomes the fourth goalkeeper in the selection. But the question is whether Roefs will still be at NEC next season. The closing post of the Dutch Juniors has had a strong season and would be in the emphatic interest of Ajax, among others.
El Kachati and Crettaz are the first two newcomers of this summer in Nijmegen. But probably it will not stay with this pair. Virgil Misidjan and old well -known Tjaronn Chery are reportedly on his way to De Goffert.
Youssef El Kachati definitely trades Telstar for NEC. The Promotion Hero or ‘De Witte Leeuwen’ was presented on Wednesday Afternoon in De Goffert. NEC HAS also Completed the Transfer of Argentinian goalkeeper Gonzalo Crettaz.
El Kachati was Picked Up by Telstar from Quick Boys in 2023. Initial, he was in the shadow of Zakaria Eddahchouri. But when he left at the beginning of 2025, El Kachati Broke Loose in Velsen-Zuid. With 24 goals, he had a major share in Telstar’s Surprising Promotion to the Eredivisie.
