Didulica pleads for AZ release

Goalkeeper Joey Didulica has called on AZ Alkmaar to honour their promise and let him leave the Eredivisie champions this summer.

The Australian stopper is hoping to secure a move to Feyenoord, although the Rotterdam club are currently struggling to come up with the necessary funds.

Didulica told De Telegraaf: "Mister (Dirk) Scheringa has made me a promise, AZ would co-operate this summer in a transfer.

"I know that Feyenoord wants to get me and I want to join them very much. The deal with AZ is not on paper, it's a gentlemen's agreement.

"In the past winter there were possibilities for me, but then the club didn't want to let me go. I had understanding for that. Now they need to have understanding for me."
