Feyenoord's financial situation is being put to the test as they struggle to afford large transfer fees. The club's transfer of Ayase Ueda to Lille OSC has resulted in a smaller profit than initially thought. This is due to a 20% sell-on clause, which was agreed upon when Ueda joined Feyenoord from Cercle Brugge three years ago. As a result, Feyenoord must pay out around €1 million to Cercle Brugge. The exact amount of profit Feyenoord retains from the transfer is unclear, but it is confirmed that they will not receive the full €9 million they paid for Ueda in 2023.
