Feyenoord will rent Oussama Idrissi from Sevilla next season, the Rotterdammers announced via the official club channels. The Moroccan international must increase the attacking options for trainer Arne Slot. Idrissi still has a contract with Sevilla until mid-2025, which means that for the time being it is a rental period of one year.
“The years here in the youth academy have brought me a lot, as a football player and as a person,” says Idrissi on the Feyenoord club site. “I have very warm and beautiful memories of that and would like to add more to this. Playing as a Feyenoord player in De Kuip has always been a dream. I am very honored that that will now come about.”
Tuesday morning made 1908.nl notification of the interest in Idrissi, after which developments followed each other in rapid succession. Feyenoord reached an agreement with . the same day los Rojiblancos. Idrissi passed the medical examination on Wednesday without any problems and now that the paperwork is in order, the attacker can join Slot’s selection. According to the General Newspaper Idrissi is the de facto replacement for Luis Sinisterra, who left for Leeds United for a record amount of 25 million euros excluding bonuses.
After two strong years in Groningen service, Idrissi made the switch to AZ in January 2018, the club where he already worked successfully with Slot in the 2019/20 season. At AZ, the wing attacker became an absolute trendsetter, with which he earned a nice transfer to Sevilla two and a half years later. At the time, the Andalusian club put twelve million euros on the table in Alkmaar. However, Idrissi has not yet been able to live up to that price tag. In his first six months in Seville, he only played three matches in LaLiga, after which the club decided to rent him out to Ajax.
Idrissi also ended up in second place in Amsterdam, although he was able to add his first national title to his palmares. After returning to Sevilla, coach Julen Lopetegui gave the quick left winger a handful of raids in LaLiga before he was allowed to move again on loan. At Spanish low-flyer Cádiz, Idrissi was finally assured of playing time again: in thirteen appearances he started twelve times.
