Calvin Stengs seems to return to Feyenoord after this season. The attacking midfielder, who is on loan from Pisa SC, has not played a minute for months due to a groin operation and is out for the time being. That’s what the medium writes 1908.nl.
Stengs started the season as a substitute in Serie A, but dropped out with an injury at the end of September. The former Antwerp player underwent surgery and will not be available again until the end of January. Pisa rents the player from Feyenoord and has a purchase option of approximately six million euros, but given his injury history and his minimal contribution, the club does not seem to be making use of this, it is known. 1908.nl.
The situation at Pisa is also not working in his favor. The PhD student in Serie A is dangling at the bottom and fighting against relegation. Financial risks are therefore avoided and an investment of millions in an injury-prone player does not fit within that picture. The club is in nineteenth place after eighteen games played, but is only three points below the relegation line.
Stengs still has a contract with Feyenoord until mid-2027, but is a big earner. The chance of an extension is small and a sale next summer seems the most logical. The condition is that the former international makes a full recovery.
In the 2022-2023 season, Calvin Stengs played on loan for Royal Antwerp FC. For Antwerp, the attacking midfielder ultimately scored one goal and six assists in 25 Jupiler Pro League games.
