De Telegraaf has published an analysis criticising Rigaux's claims that he was unable to make significant transfers due to financial constraints. This is despite Feyenoord recently turning down a bid of over €40 million for Hadj Moussa. The newspaper points out that Rigaux had spent around €20 million on new signings, while also selling a group of players for €50 million. Furthermore, De Telegraaf notes that Rigaux rejected bids of €30 million for Givairo Read and nearly €20 million for Oussama Targhalline. VoetbalPrimeur reports, with De Telegraaf labelling Rigaux's complaints as 'unbelievable'.
