According to FC Copenhagen's sports director, Sune Smith-Nielsen, it was clear that Diks would not be extending his stay with the Danish club. Smith-Nielsen revealed that there were several bids for Diks during the summer transfer window, but the club chose to keep him due to his importance to the team. “In the summer transfer window, there were several bids for Kevin, but we chose to keep Kevin because he is of decisive importance to our team and our way of playing,” Smith-Nielsen explained. He also praised the open dialogue between the club and Diks, saying, “We have always had a really good dialogue about things with Kevin and his background. We have known that Kevin wanted to leave us in the summer after the contract expired.”
