Portsmouth have backed out of transfer talks for NAC Breda goalkeeper Daniel Bielica, after successive offers failed to convince the Dutch club. According to the information, NAC received an initial bid of around €500,000 and another higher offer from Portsmouth, but on both occasions it did not open formal negotiations. Bielica, the 28-year-old Polish goalkeeper under contract until mid-2027, is clearly keen to make the move to the Championship. He has also communicated within the team a desire to leave to try a higher level in England. However, NAC stood their ground and did not budge from their position—a move that may have been anchored by the length of the player's contract and its importance to the club's campaign in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie. As a result, Portsmouth decided to first look at other options in the market for the full-back position. But the door is not completely closed. After the reaction from the England side, NAC has laid out an asking price: it is ready to negotiate if there is an offer that exceeds the transfermarkt estimate of €800,000. Technical director Peter Maas reportedly indicated this benchmark as a starting point for any possible talks.

For Portsmouth, the next move now depends: will they return to the table with an offer in excess of €800,000, or will they move on to another target altogether in the middle of the open transfer window? In the Championship, strong goalkeepers are critical for a long season and tougher competition, so it's no wonder they are looking for an immediate solution. On NAC's side, the tough stance is logical: the club is in the second division of the Netherlands and it is important to retain or make the most of key pieces in their roster. Pricing above market estimate is common in such situations, especially if there is a long contract remaining and clear interest from another league. For now, Bielica's future remains on hold. There is clear interest from England and the NAC has laid out a baseline. If Portsmouth follow up with another offer above the benchmark, the deal could move forward. Otherwise, expect both sides to seek an alternative route—one, a new target; the other, a way to keep their main gatekeeper happy and motivated as the season goes on.

What's next

Portsmouth could reassess their position in the transfer market and return to NAC Breda with a higher offer in excess of €800,000. Bielica's future could change depending on Portsmouth's next steps, especially if their interest in him as a midfield signing continues. Currently, talks seem to be on hold, but the possibility of a transfer is not completely closed.
