Feyenoord Faces Goalkeeper Dilemma After Bijlow’s Departure

omidbasir- Justin Bijlow is no longer a member of Feyenoord. The 28-year-old goalkeeper made the move to Genoa CFC in Serie A during the winter transfer window. Meanwhile, the Rotterdam club finds itself managing a roster of four goalkeepers who may not be the most reliable options for the future, as noted by club analyst Martijn Krabbendam. He has provided an in-depth analysis of the goalkeeper situation at Feyenoord.

‘Feyenoord Must Seek a New First-Choice Goalkeeper’

Bijlow’s departure from De Kuip has raised questions regarding the club’s immediate strategy. In his place, Feyenoord has acquired German goalkeeper Steven Benda on loan from Fulham FC. Additionally, the squad includes Liam Bossin and Manou Berger. Goalkeeping talent Plamen Andreev was loaned to Lech Poznan this winter, making him the fifth goalkeeper. While there are currently four keepers on the roster, Krabbendam argues that this is insufficient for the club’s future needs.

Departure of Bijlow

For those familiar with Serie A, it is hard not to question whether Feyenoord parted ways with Justin Bijlow too soon. The eight-time international initially struggled with his transition to Genoa but recently showcased his talent during his most recent match. Over the weekend, he achieved a commendable clean sheet against Cremonese, facing nineteen attempts on goal. With eight saves to his credit, Bijlow was named Man of the Match, marking an impressive accomplishment.
