Feyenoord hands out a nice parting gift to Szymanski and five others

Feyenoord formally said goodbye to six players on Wednesday afternoon. Ofir Marciano, Tein Troost, Oussama Idrissi, Jacob Rasmussen, Timon Wellenreuther and Sebastian Szymanski have received a beautiful photo plaque from the club as a memento of their time in Rotterdam. However, mercenary Szymanski in particular is expected to also play for Feyenoord next season.

As a youth player, Troost was unable to break through at Feyenoord, so the goalkeeper will seek refuge at NAC Breda, which may still be promoted to the Eredivisie. Marciano was particularly valuable last season as a replacement for the injured Justin Bijlow. With the Israeli between the posts, the team from Rotterdam reached the Conference League final. With the recovered Bijlow now under the crossbar, Feyenoord lost the final battle to AS Roma (1-0). Marciano’s next destination is still unknown.

Mercenaries Rasmussen and Idrissi return to their clubs Fiorentina and Sevilla. The latter in particular had a significant share in winning the national title this season. For Wellenreuther and Szymanski there is a good chance that they will also be active in De Kuip next season. It General Journal in 1908.nl reported that Feyenoord is committed to a longer stay for that duo. Wellenreuther made a great impression as a replacement for the injured Bijlow. In the crucial match at Ajax (2-3), in particular, the German made some important saves. Feyenoord has stipulated a purchase option in Wellenreuther’s contract.

However, the question is whether the Anderlecht mercenary will stay. Wellenreuther also has the option of moving to the Bundesliga. Moreover, it is doubtful whether he will again see a role on the second plan. Szymanski has grown into a basic player in midfield this season and is regarded as a strong holder, but is still fixed at Dinamo Moscow until mid-2026. Just under ten days ago, however, FIFA announced that players under contract with clubs from Russia or Ukraine will also be allowed to play in another country next season. Made in early May 1908.nl announced that Szymanski had already reached a personal agreement with Feyenoord to stay for at least another year. The playmaker would not want to go back to Russia under any circumstances.
