Feyenoord is also not ready for the transfer market after the arrival of nine new players. That says trainer Arne Slot, who expressed the hope that at least three more signings will be brought in after the 1-2 loss against Osasuna. The Rotterdam club needs reinforcements, especially at left back.
On Sunday afternoon, Feyenoord will open the season at 2.30 pm with an away game at Vitesse. The hope in Rotterdam is that new players have come to De Kuip before that time, but Slot is not so sure. He notes that the negotiations have been difficult so far. “We have actually been working on the left back position from the start and then you are sometimes also dependent on another club,” the trainer reports. ESPN. “Actually, I expected the left-back to be there already, so it’s hard to say now if he’ll be there tomorrow.
In addition, the trainer from Bergentheim hopes that an extra wing attacker can also be contracted. “In general you want to have players who have already played games and who don’t need another six weeks to get fit. That is certainly important for us at this stage and that makes it more difficult. An extra attacker would be nice, because the winger is usually the player you change most often. They have to create a lot and that’s something you can’t expect from them every week. Then it’s very nice if you have substitution options as a coach.”
Monday morning it became clear that interest has been shown in Ramiz Zerrouki of FC Twente, who can become the successor of Fredrik Aursnes. It is coveted by Benfica. Feyenoord would also prefer to add two left backs and a wing attacker to the selection. The Stadium Club previously brought nine new players to South Rotterdam with Danilo, Mats Wieffer, Mohamed Taabouni, Javairo Dilrosun, Sebastian Szymanski, Oussama Idrissi, Santiago Giménez, Quinten Timber and Jacob Rasmussen.
