Feyenoord Poised to Sign Anel Ahmedhodzic After Van den Berg Bids Rejected

Feyenoord is finalising the signing of the Bosnia defender to complete its defensive rebuild following the acquisition of Tsuyoshi Watanabe.

Overview

  • Feyenoord has reached an agreement to sign Anel Ahmedhodzic from Sheffield United for a fee reported to be below its club-record €8 million
  • Ahmedhodzic’s one year of contract remaining at Bramall Lane prompted United to cash in now rather than risk losing him for free next summer
  • Two bids from Feyenoord for Middlesbrough centre-back Rav van den Berg were turned down, effectively ending their interest in the under-21 international
  • Sheffield United boss Ruben Selles must reshuffle his defence less than a week before the Championship opener after losing a key centre-back
  • The Dutch side bolstered their back line earlier in the window by signing Japanese international Tsuyoshi Watanabe
