The negotiations have been ongoing since Friday, with Al Ittihad initially offering 37.5 million euros for the player. However, Feyenoord's technical director Dévy Rigaux was not keen on letting Hadj Moussa go, which led to tension between the two parties. The player himself was also unhappy with the situation, suggesting that he had made earlier agreements with the club.
Anis Hadj Moussa was absent from the match selection twice due to being late for the match on Saturday. Despite trainer Giovanni van Bronckhorst stating that the player would remain at the club, Feyenoord Transfermarkt now reports that the deal is still alive. The talks between Feyenoord and Al Ittihad are urgent, as the transfer market in Saudi Arabia closes tonight.
