Saudi Interest in Hadj Moussa Intensifies as €30–40m Feyenoord Offer Is Discussed
Anis Hadj Moussa has emerged as a major target for Saudi Arabian giants Al-Ittihad. Reports from Saudi Arabia claim the Algerian winger is the club’s leading option to strengthen the right side of their attack, with a potentially huge offer capable of testing Feyenoord’s determination to keep him at De Kuip.
The timing makes any potential transfer particularly complicated for Feyenoord. The Dutch transfer window has already closed, meaning Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side would have very limited possibilities to find a suitable replacement if Hadj Moussa were sold.
That situation considerably strengthens Feyenoord’s negotiating position. Saudi reports suggest the Rotterdam club would demand a major fee before even considering allowing one of their most dangerous attacking players to leave.
€30–40m could test Feyenoord
A second report from Saudi Arabia goes further, claiming that an offer worth somewhere between €30 million and €40 million could potentially convince Feyenoord to cooperate.
Importantly, there is currently no confirmation that such a bid has actually been submitted. The reported figure is being discussed as the level at which negotiations could become serious rather than as an offer already received by Feyenoord.
The Saudi Public Investment Fund could provide the financial power required to make such a proposal, with Al-Ittihad reportedly keen to strengthen their squad while their market remains open.
Should an offer arrive, the player’s position would also become crucial. Saudi sources claim reaching an agreement with Hadj Moussa over personal terms would be another important step before any transfer could be completed.
Replacing Hadj Moussa would be extremely difficult
Feyenoord have already undergone significant changes in attack during the final stages of the summer.
Casper Tengstedt has joined Toulouse, Ayase Ueda is heading for Lille, while Reiss Nelson is arriving as a free agent. Losing Hadj Moussa on top of those changes would further reshape Van Bronckhorst’s attacking options.
Unlike clubs in countries where the market remains open, Feyenoord can no longer simply sell a player and then spend the money on an international replacement.
That makes the sporting value of Hadj Moussa particularly important. Even an enormous transfer fee would leave Feyenoord with money they could not easily use to replace him immediately.
Saudi pressure could continue
For now, Hadj Moussa remains a Feyenoord player and there is no confirmed agreement or formal €30–40 million bid.
What appears clear from the Saudi reports is that Al-Ittihad’s interest is serious enough for the Algerian international’s name to feature prominently during the remaining days of their transfer window.
The coming hours could therefore determine whether the interest develops into something concrete.
Feyenoord do not need to sell Hadj Moussa — but if Saudi Arabia puts €30–40 million on the table, their resolve could be seriously tested.
