Feyenoord’s Hadj Moussa decision dominates Eredivisie discussion

Feyenoord’s handling of Anis Hadj Moussa has become a major talking point after the Rotterdam club rejected the possibility of a lucrative transfer to Al-Ittihad. VI reports that the Algerian could have completed a move worth millions, but Feyenoord refused to let him leave. The outlet has now raised the question of whether the club should have accepted the deal.

The discussion follows Feyenoord’s away victory over NEC on Saturday. Although the result gave the Rotterdam side reason to celebrate, attention has quickly shifted towards Hadj Moussa and the club’s decision to keep him rather than approve the proposed transfer.

Elsewhere, PSV proved too strong for Ajax on Saturday. PSV have dropped only two points through their opening five Eredivisie matches, while Ajax sit on seven points after playing one game fewer. The result underlined the early gap between the two sides, with VI describing Ajax as clearly second best in the meeting.

AZ also secured a notable result away to SC Heerenveen. Leeroy Echteld’s side appeared in danger of slipping up, but goals from Mexx Meerdink and Ayoub Oufkir turned the contest in AZ’s favour. VI’s Eredivisie programme will assess AZ’s prospects alongside the PSV-Ajax result and Feyenoord’s stance on Hadj Moussa.
