Cole Bassett may remain a Feyenoord player this season. The club will also rent the American from Colorado Rapids next year, but hoped to sublet him to Fortuna Sittard for a year. However, such a construction turns out to be a (probably too) difficult story, you know 1908.nl.
Friday came Football International with the surprising news that Fortuna Sittard would be strengthening with Bassett. It was not immediately clear how the construction would fit together. Feyenoord took over the midfielder last January for a season and a half on a rental basis. An option to buy was included, but this has not yet been exercised.
Until that happens, it will therefore not be possible to resell Bassett. The FIFA regulations for such constructions have been adjusted as of July 2022, which makes it considerably difficult for Feyenoord and Fortuna. For the time being, Bassett will remain a Feyenoord player. The midfielder was still present on Sunday at the players presentation at the Open Day.
