Headline: Jacob Ondrejka to Join FC Groningen on Loan from Parma
FC Groningen is set to bring in Jacob Ondrejka on loan from Parma, as reported by Mounir Boualin. The midfielder, formerly of Antwerp, aims to join Groningen in time for their upcoming Eredivisie match against newly promoted ADO Den Haag this Sunday. Ondrejka has previous experience in the region, having played in Belgium for Antwerp.
The 23-year-old midfielder began his professional career with Landskorna BoIS in Sweden before moving to Elfsborg in 2020. During his tenure at Elfsborg, he made 110 appearances and scored 20 goals. In the summer of 2023, he transferred to Antwerp, where he displayed strong performance over a season and a half, making 55 appearances and contributing 12 goals along with seven assists. His impressive stats led to a mid-season transfer to Serie A squad Parma.
In Italy, Ondrejka played 12 matches for Parma by the end of the last season, scoring five goals. However, he faced a challenging season last year, appearing in just 17 matches without finding the net. Despite having a contract with Parma until 2029, a loan move to Groningen might offer him the opportunity to regain the form he previously exhibited while playing for Antwerp.
Groningen fans will be eager to see if Ondrejka can make a positive impact in their squad this season.

In Italy, Ondrejka played 12 games for Parma to end the season. He had a decent return, scoring five goals. However, last season Ondrejka only played 17 games for Parma, failing to score or find an assist. He still has a contract with Parma until 2029, but a move to Groningen could help him rediscover the form he had previously shown with Antwerp.
