Feyenoord FC has been active in both the transfer market and European competitions as the 2025-26 Eredivisie season approaches. The Rotterdam club enters its first full season under the management of Robin van Persie, following an eventful 2024-25 campaign that saw an interim Champions League triumph under Pascal Bosschaart and significant squad changes[1].

Feyenoord confirmed the signing of Anel Ahmedhodžić from Sheffield United to reinforce their defense and also secured Napoli’s promising 18-year-old attacking midfielder Matteo Malasomma on a free transfer. Malasomma, who excelled for Napoli’s Primavera side last season, immediately signed a two-year contract (with an option for a third) and is set to be loaned to FC Dordrecht for further development[3].

On the outgoing side, Feyenoord has seen key departures such as Quilindschy Hartman (to Burnley), Antoni Milambo (to Brentford), Dávid Hancko (to Atlético Madrid), and Igor Paixão (to a French club), collectively amounting to almost €100 million in transferred talent[1][4][6]. In response, the club has already spent over €50 million across eight signings—a sharp increase from the previous season—as they aim to remain competitive in both domestic and European competitions[1].

For incoming transfers beyond Ahmedhodžić and Malasomma, updates include the return of Shiloh ‘t Zand from loan and the acquisition of Oussama Targhalline from Le Havre[2]. The club is reportedly targeting further reinforcements, including striker El-Bilal Toure and centre-back Sikou Niakhate, to replace the offensive and defensive output lost from summer departures[1].

On the pitch, Feyenoord prepares for a high-stakes UEFA Champions League third qualifying round clash against Fenerbahçe at De Kuip. The squad is hopeful of progressing further after having exited at the round of 16 last season[5]. In preseason, Feyenoord demonstrated strong form, leading Wolfsburg 4-0 in a friendly until the match was abandoned late due to a medical emergency in the stands[5].
