He's the man a clutch of clubs are desperate to land but Joey Veerman appears happy to take himself out the spotlight as speculation over his future mounts.
The 22-year-old looked set to leave Heerenveen for Hellas Verona this week but the Serie A side baulked at the asking price for a player who scored seven times and provided 10 assists last season.
Rangers are huge admirers of the playmaker and Steven Gerrard is looking to boost his squad ahead of their crunch Champions League qualifiers next month.
The team who wins the race for Veerman's services will reportedly have to shell out £7m - but some of that money will likely be made up in add-ons and bonuses.
If the player himself is letting the speculation get the better of him then he certainly didn't show it on Friday night as he stayed true to his roots.
He was in attendance watching former team Volendam in action during a pre-season friendly with Heracles on a sun-kissed evening.
And he shared a snap of him watching on from the stands as talks continue over where he will be playing his football next season.
Rangers have already signed two midfielders this summer in John Lundstram and Nnamdi Ofoborh but Gerrard will be without Ryan Jack and Glen Kamara when the first qualifier comes around.
Scott Arfield is also yet to play in the pre-season but the Canada international will be looking to get up and running soon.
