AZ Alkmaar are keen to secure Smit’s future, with negotiations reportedly moving toward a contract extension. Currently tied to the club until June 30, 2028, Smit could soon commit to a renewed deal that would keep him in Alkmaar for several more years. The club has long regarded him as one of the finest prospects to come through their academy, having joined the youth ranks at the age of nine and rising to become a highly regarded young Netherlands international.
Smit has openly expressed admiration for Barcelona, noting in interviews that he grew up watching the Catalan club and continues to follow them. He has also stated that, when the time comes to move abroad, his preferred destination would be La Liga, rather than pursuing a switch to another domestic league such as the Premier League. Despite these aspirations, there is no rush to leave the Netherlands, and AZ appear ready to solidify his future with a contract that could run through 2030.
As Smit develops with AZ, the club’s board has signaled that selling him is not part of their current plans, underscoring their belief in his potential and their commitment to his continued growth within their setup. The midfielder’s trajectory remains closely watched, with many anticipating a bright future as he continues to refine his game and contribute to AZ Alkmaar’s campaigns.
