Dusan Tadic is nearing a move to NEC Nijmegen, with the Serbian forward arriving at De Goffert stadium to finalize the deal.
The transfer is expected to be announced soon.
The 37-year-old joins on a free transfer after leaving Al Wahda, meaning no fee is required.
He had multiple offers from Dutch and foreign clubs, but NEC's sporting project and head coach Dick Schreuder's strong advocacy were key factors.
Return to Eredivisie
This marks Tadic's return to the Eredivisie after three years.
He previously played for FC Groningen, FC Twente, and Ajax, where he reached the Champions League semi-finals and won several trophies.
"The sporting story of NEC convinced me," Tadic said. He is expected to be eligible for the Champions League qualifiers against Olympiakos.
"Returning to the Eredivisie with NEC is an exciting challenge," he added.
