Feyenoord’s Challenges in Securing a Champions League Spot

In the coming months, it will become clear who will secure the second place behind PSV and thus earn a spot in next year’s Champions League: Feyenoord, Ajax, or possibly NEC? Following a disappointing winter transfer window, there is a prevailing sense of pessimism in Rotterdam.

Feyenoord’s rivals had a significantly more fruitful transfer period compared to the Rotterdam club. The supporters unanimously agree that Feyenoord has weakened rather than strengthened during the winter. Quinten Timber departed, while only Mats Deijl and Jerry St. Juste joined the (temporary) starting lineup. Club analyst Martijn Krabbendam from Voetbal International fully understands the negative sentiment surrounding the team.

Feyenoord had hopes of temporarily signing Jhón Duran, but he is now heading to Zenit. “It’s certainly a shame! However, I believe the situation was far too complicated. He has left Fenerbahçe, and I am unsure why he wasn’t successful there. They need to negotiate with the Saudis, but as far as I understand, they were quite close to a deal. Unfortunately for Feyenoord, this is a setback.”
