Former Netherlands international Quincy Promes is now being prosecuted by the Netherlands Public Prosecution Service (NPPS) for his alleged involvement in importing 1300kg of cocaine into Belgium.

Promes is already being prosecuted for allegedly stabbing his cousin in the knee at a family event. The Spartak Moscow footballer previously denied the allegations but was allegedly heard confessing to the stabbing in a police wire-tap. Dutch prosecutors have demanded a two-year prison sentence for the former Netherlands international in relation to the incident. That trial started on Friday and is alleged to have happened at a birthday party in Abacoude in 2020. Promes has pleaded not guilty and did not attend the opening of the trial while he fulfils his contract in Russia. A charge of attempted murder was dropped by prosecutors amid insufficient evidence.

His lawyer Robert Malewicz has declined to comment on the new allegations levelled against his client but promised to “provide a further explanation during Monday’s hearing”. Promes, who has played for several prominent European clubs in his career including Ajax, Sevilla and FC Twente, was once linked with a move to Manchester United. Back when Louis van Gaal was in charge of the Red Devils, United made an approach to sign Promes from Twente after Van Gaal handed him his first international call-up, only for the winger to join Spartak in a £9.5m move instead. He claimed afterwards that he turned down the chance to join the Premier League outfit as he didn’t feel ready for the move at the age of 23. Promes has won 50 international caps for the Netherlands. He was part of the Dutch squad which was knocked out in the last 16 of Euro 2020. The footballer has not been called up since then.

Their captain Sergio Busquets had also announced that he would be leaving at the end of the season after almost 15 years in the starting lineup, leaving a gaping hole in the midfield. However, it might not be a straightforward deal as Barcelona has soured their relationship with Bayern with Robert Lewandowski’s transfer, and the Bavarian giants might force them to pay a premium for the disgruntled midfielder, who is valued at around €45m. Manchester City has also been linked with the German midfielder as Ilkay Gundogan prepares to leave the club at the end of this season. Barcelona target Joshua Kimmich as replacement for Sergio Busquets Kimmich is not only one of the world’s best midfielders, but he can also play at the right back where Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernandez badly needs cover. Central defender Jules Kounde has been filling in there this season but is expected to occupy his usual area of the pitch soon and especially if Andreas Christensen is moved on. Mundo Deportivo complimented Kimmich for being “very reliable” because of his technical and physical qualities as a “very tactically intelligent footballer”.
