It is gradually not a question of whether, but for how much Luis Sinisterra will leave Feyenoord. Last weekend, the Colombian was again worth gold for the Rotterdam team with the winning goal in the home match against FC Utrecht (2-1). It seems almost certain that Sinisterra will leave Feyenoord this summer, the only question is for how much and where to go. According to Gertjan Verbeek, the winger would do well to continue his career in the Bundesliga, he told NOS Along the Line†
“Arne Slot said at the start of the season that Feyenoord had to get fitter and they are now,” said Verbeek, referring to the late victory over Utrecht. “So it’s no surprise that they always score at the end, because the opponent is tired and they can keep up the high tempo. The ball is immediately put under full pressure. The not so fast defenders also immediately connect to the centerline, because that is necessary. There is continuous training for this. FC Barcelona had the ‘five second rule’ in Guardiola’s time. At Feyenoord it takes a little longer, but not much.”
One of the absolute trendsetters this season is Sinisterra. The winger has so far accounted for 12 goals and five assists in the Eredivisie, which has led to increased interest around his person. He is expected to leave Feyenoord for several tens of millions of euros. “Ajax can ask more for players than Feyenoord, but by Feyenoord standards he will generate a lot of money,” Verbeek believes. “He’s really good. Ter Avest had absolutely no grip on him, especially after he got yellow.”
The European season could well become an important factor in Sinisterra’s possible transfer, as Feyenoord could ask for considerably more if the Colombian continues his form in European matches and reaches the final with the Rotterdam team. “The Bundesliga is a dream competition for him,” Verbeek continues. “The teams there play in different forms these days. He can come in from the left, but also play on ten or in a two-striker system. In that competition he gets space. Bayern Munich? No, just below. I would take that step first .”
