El Ahmadi believes that Feyenoord should have been more open about their ambitions, especially considering the club's budget. He pointed out that the team's selection is lacking in strikers, with only Nacho Ferri and Shaqueel van Persie available. This is a concern, given the recent departures of Ayase Ueda and Casper Tengstedt.
The club's decision to let go of these players has raised questions about their ability to attract new talent. According to Marciano Vink, who was also present at the ESPN programme, the lack of budget was cited as the reason for the departures. However, with the Champions League millions set to arrive and a transfer windfall of 30 million euros, it seems that Feyenoord should have enough funds to make some signings.
Feyenoord's next move will be crucial in determining the direction of their transfer strategy.
