The Dutch club is undergoing a restructuring under manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst and new executive leadership. Their Eredivisie season opener against Sparta Rotterdam is scheduled for August 9.
According to Algemeen Dagblad, the administrative overhaul is ongoing, with more sales expected. Players like Anis Hadj Moussa, Ayase Ueda, and Givairo Read have attracted transfer interest.
Club's Pricing Strategy
Football analyst Mario Been commented on the club's approach. "Feyenoord only sells for the price it wants itself.
I think that's good. Previously I sometimes had the idea: that one could have left for more money," he said.

Been also expressed concern about potential late departures. "What if Read and Hadj Moussa only leave at the very last moment?
I hope they think carefully about that and that the replacements are ready."
Former Feyenoord player Karim El Ahmadi analyzed the team's tactical needs, emphasizing the importance of goals from multiple positions.
"Last season the goals mainly had to come from Ueda, while at PSV the backs, the wingers, and the midfielders were involved in goals."
