Feyenoord took Stephano Carrillo over from Santos Laguna in the winter of 2025. Last season, he was loaned to FC Dordrecht. However, upon his return, he has seemingly vanished from the club's first team. Giovanni van Bronckhorst stated that there were choices made around Carrillo. When asked about the Mexican striker's current situation, Van Bronckhorst confirmed that Carrillo is currently at the Under-21 team, not the first team. This decision was made by Van Bronckhorst, who explained that trainers make choices, just like he has to choose between the strikers in the first team. The Under-21 team coach, Adrie Poldervaart, also makes similar choices for his team. Ultimately, it is up to Poldervaart to decide what to do with Carrillo.
