UnconfirmedThis report is based on Dutch media speculation and has not been confirmed by the clubs or players involved.
Feyenoord have reached a verbal agreement with Gjivai Zechiël over a contract extension, according to a report relayed by Voetbalzone. The update, published on 3 September 2026, attributes the information to ESPN journalist Sinclair Bischop.
Zechiël is currently contracted to Feyenoord until the middle of 2028. The reported agreement would extend the 22-year-old midfielder’s stay, although no proposed expiry date or further terms were included in the supplied report. There was also no indication that a new contract had already been signed.
The development emerged on the morning after Deadline Day, offering Feyenoord a potentially positive piece of squad-planning news once the transfer window had closed. However, the report describes the agreement as verbal, meaning the extension should still be treated as unconfirmed until the club or player announces that the paperwork has been completed.
Voetbalzone’s report was first published at 11:38 local time and updated seven minutes later. Beyond Zechiël’s age, position and existing contract length, no additional details were provided about negotiations or the structure of the prospective deal.
