Al Nassr Cancels Record €40 Million Hancko Transfer; Feyenoord Recalls Defender

Feyenoord has halted related outbound deals following the Saudi club’s unprecedented refusal to integrate the centre-back

Overview

  • Feyenoord and Al Nassr had agreed a club-record €40 million fee, but the Saudi side refused to receive Hancko at its Austrian training camp
  • Al Nassr denied him hotel access and barred him from training, prompting an immediate recall to Feyenoord’s pre-season camp in Grassau, Germany
  • The Dutch club branded the conduct “scandalous and without precedents” and froze all linked negotiations, including the Rav van den Berg deal
  • Hancko, who had surrendered his Rotterdam apartment keys and farewelled teammates, has now resumed training under Feyenoord’s coaching staff
  • Atletico Madrid is reportedly exploring a new bid for the unsettled defender after the collapse of the Al Nassr move
