Feyenoord will enter the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. Here are the potential opponents for that home-and-away series. It will be one of those four. Winner of the match SK Brann (NOR) – RB Salzburg (OOS) Winner of the match Viktoria Plzeň (TSJ) – Servette FC (ZWI) OGC Nice (FRA) Fenerbahçe (TUR) The matches will be played 5/6 August and 12/13 August.
316308 Hope Ropbin gets a complete squad selection ready soon, so he can prepare them properly for those confrontations. I'm hoping the Feyenoord management isnot going overplaying our hands regarding Valente. It's widely know Valente wants to go to Feyenoord. That does give leverage, but only up to a certain point. If we want to squeeze FC Groningen, they might decide to keep him and then I'm sure an Italian club will pop up in the winter break to pay what Groningen wants. By that time we can't afford him anymore.
Having gone shopping at Feyenoord for both Orkun Kokcu and Fredrik Aursnes, Benfica is now coming in for Anis Hadj-Moussa. They have already starting talking with him and Feyenoord expect Benfica to make an offer soon. Benfica are making Feyenoord their FC Twente equivalent.
Chris-Kévin Nadje is going out on loan to Lausanne-Sport of the Swiss league. Not transfer news, but van Persie is going to give 16-yo winger Jivayno Zinhagel a chance to work with the first team this summer.
Feyenoord have agreed to sell Q. Hartman to Burnley. Rumour has the sale price as €9m with a possible €3m in bonus possibility. Burnley could be a relaunch pad for Hartman, or he could fade out via another injury. But if a player doesn't want to be at Feyenoord, i.e., refuses to sign a contract extension, then sell him on. Too many Eredivisie players have gone to the EPL, stalled out, and then snuck back into the Eredivisie, usually at a lower level club. I could see that happening to Hartman. In a couple of seasons, we might see Hartman playing for Willem II or Fortuna Sittard. He could have stayed and played CL football this season with Feyenoord, but instead he will join relegation candidates Burnley.
Feyenoord have purchased Kwame Tabiri from FC Dordrecht for €400k with a 20% resale going back to Dordrecht. They did this because the former Dordt trainer, Melvin Boel, wanted to bring Tabiri to his new club Go Ahead Eagles. The Ghanaian midfielder will joined Feyenoord U21 squad.
316723 Hartman seems gone for a mere 12 million Quilindschy Hartman flies to England on Monday, where he will complete his transfer at Burnley. The left back will undergo the medical examination a day later. Feyenoord will receive a transfer fee of twelve million euros for the player that the club has developed themself. Hartman still had a contract at De Kuip until the summer of 2026. What dafok made it impossible to keep him and extend his contract
And I wonder if that reported €12m was for €9m + €3m as noted in my above post, or if Feyenoord were able to negotiate a full €12m without contingent bonuses. His market value had been estimated as €14m, which was likely reduced due to his injury issue. Hartman wanted to leave. After nearly going to Chelsea last year (before getting injured), he got a big head and figures he's too big for Feyenoord and the Eredivisie. After coming back from that horrible injury, he was complaining about not getting immediate and full minutes in the spring.
It is not a guarantee that Hartman will pass his physical at Burnley. This past EPL season all three promoted teams were immediately relegated. I think it will happen again next season.
317005 Feyenoord has reached an agreement with Istanbulspor about a transfer of Gaoussou Diarra. The 22-year-old winger from Mali has only been a professional footballer for one year, but impressed last season in Turkey.
FC Copenhagen have offered €1.2m for Marcos Lopez, and it looks like Feyenoord have agreed. Now Feyenoord are looking for a backup LB for Gijs Smal. One name being reported is that of Román Vega, who plays in Argentina for Argentinos Juniors and is 21-yo.
Feyenoord have improved their offer to Valencia for LCB Yarek Gasiorowski. At only 20, he has played for the Spain U19 squad. Presently only 4th in the CB order at Valencia, he wants more minutes and is open to a move to Rotterdam. Another Hancko replacement could be Dominik Prpić from Croatian club Hajduk Split. He would probably be cheaper than the Valencia player.
317158 Alot of names are tossed around. Many just to get clicks. Gonna wait till a contract is signed, otherwise reading certain claims is just time wasting.
Given that Hartman, Hancko, and possibly Trauner are just about out the door, the news about the negotiations for Vega, Gasiorowski, and Prpic are likely more than click bait. https://voetbalflitsen.nl/nieuws/p7...roman-vega-yarek-gasiorowski-en-dominik-prpic
Oh, they're not all of them clickbait. The ones you mentioned are the ones, that combine good knowledge of the situation at Feyenoord and the needs we have with good insight in what's available on the market. So these are different from the majority with hyperbolic headlines screaming for attention. So when I search for Feyenoord news I get inundated by these clickbaiters, making it tedious finding the ones with real info. That why I wait and see, until Feyenoord itself comes with info. Not criticizing you, by the way
317473 Feyenoord has reached an agreement with FC Groningen about Luciano Valente. The midfielder comes over from FC Groningen for an amount of about seven million euros and signs for four seasons in De Kuip.
317602 On Monday, many players report to trainingsground 1908 for the start of Feyenoord's new season. After finishing the season with a strong run, coach Robin van Persie is confident that we can finish two positions higher at the end of that season than last year. In first place, in other words. But with which selection will that happen? It still has to form – in the first month of training, before the qualifications for the Champions League and the start of the competition in August are scheduled.
Now that Hartman has been sold, Feyenoord want to bring Bjorn Meijer back from Belgium. The former Groningen LB has been with Club Brugge since 2022. The 22-yo also for Jong Oranje.
317852 Fans arenot happy about it and on social media : Fans are already speaking out against transfer on social media: 'What a disgrace' Then the Bjorn Meijer track. The left back of Club Brugge is originally from FC Groningen. Recently, he played with the Dutch Juniors at the European Championship in Slovakia. Many viewers did not like Meijer at all as a left back and considered him the darling of national coach Michael Reiziger. On social media, Feyenoord fans are going wild on this rumor. "What a joke, the bar can be raised," it reads. "What a disgrace," writes another. "Bad and constantly injured, do we never learn?" Dennis Te Kloese gets a beating. "What an unimaginative policy. Really isn't about anything at all." Meijer is 22 years old and has been playing for Club Brugge since the summer of 2022. Last season, the often injured left back played only eighteen games in all competitions, including 2 short substitute appearances in the CLeague. The Dutchman's contract with the blue-black club from Bruges runs until next summer.
317914 Feyenoord icon and former international Rinus Israel (83) passed away Former football player Rinus Israel has died at the age of 83. His grandson let it be known in a message on Facebook. 'Iron Rinus' achieved great success as a player of Feyenoord and played 47 times for the Dutch national team. Later, he was active for many years as a trainer of Feyenoord and ADO Den Haag, among others. I was there in Milan San Siro, when he scored the equalizer against Celtic. RIP.
Oh crap. Robin van Persie chooses Bijlow as his first goalie. Although quality wise Bijlow is the best, his injury prone body simply isnot fit for football and as such, as has been proven in the past, is a serious risk as a first goalie. Fokking should have bought Olij.
