Hansa Rostock wingback Heath Pearce is being pursued heavily by a team each from the Bundesliga and the Eredivisie, Soccer365 has learned.

According to his agent, the American Abroad could soon be leaving the relegated Ostseestädter for greener pastures.

"There's a Dutch team that's interested, and a German team," Lyle Yorks told Soccer365. "We're hoping to have this play itself out over the next five days. These are two great options."

Though neither bidder's name was revealed, Pearce has had plenty of documented interest from the Netherlands in the past and has more than once publicly expressed a desire to play in the Eredivisie.

The lead contender would appear to be FC Utrecht, who also made a run at the U.S. international before he joined Hansa. Ajax and FC Twente have made prior contact, but appear to be set at Pearce's favored position, as well as on the left side of midfield.

The California native worked in 19 Bundesliga contests last season for Hansa, who start the new second flight season Monday at Duisburg.
