Lutsharel Geertruida will most likely be the most expensive Feyenoord player of all time, reports Martijn Krabbendam of Voetbal International. RB Leipzig has again reported to Rotterdam with a much improved proposal. The German top club wants to pay thirty million euros excluding bonuses for the 23-year-old defender.
At the beginning of July it was already known that at least two bids had been made, but the last bid of approximately twenty million euros did not come close to what Feyenoord wishes to receive. General director Dennis te Kloese reportedly only wants to participate in a transfer if Geertruida becomes the most expensive Feyenoord player of all time, because according to the management, the defender is ‘worth no less than Jurriën Timber’, who transferred from Ajax to Arsenal for approximately forty million euros plus bonuses. left.
Compared to a month earlier, RB Leipzig has more room for negotiation by selling Josko Gvardiol, who was sold to Manchester City for at least ninety million euros. Geertruida will become the most expensive Feyenoord player ever with a transfer. That record is now in the hands of Orkun Kökçü, who this summer attracted 25 million euros, excluding 5 million euros in ‘achievable’ bonuses, to Benfica.
Despite the high amount that Leipzig is willing to pay, Feyenoord is not eager to sell Geertruida. The multifunctional defender has developed stormy in De Kuip and also made his debut in Orange. His departure would be a loss for Arne Slot’s team. “The interest is very serious, but it has been for a while,” is the only thing director Dennis te Kloese wants to say.
