Feyenoord is set to face NEC in a crucial Eredivisie match, but they will have to do so without Hadj Moussa. The Algerian player is reportedly in high demand by Al Ittihad, and it appears he has forced a transfer.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst had stated on Friday that he did not expect Hadj Moussa to leave, but it now seems that the player has made his departure a priority. Al Ittihad has allegedly increased its bid for Hadj Moussa, and with the transfer market in Saudi Arabia closing on September 6, time is of the essence in the negotiations.
