Feyenoord must decide which players to retain or replace before the summer 2027 transfer window as multiple contracts expire at De Kuip.
Reiss Nelson Returns From Injury
Reiss Nelson joined Feyenoord on a free transfer from Arsenal in the summer of 2026, signing a one-year deal that expires on June 30, 2027.
The 26-year-old winger arrived to boost attacking options on both flanks but struggled with injuries this season, playing only twelve minutes in a Feyenoord shirt. Nelson has recovered and is available again for the squad.
Defensive Decisions on St. Juste and Nieuwkoop
Jeremiah St. Juste holds a contract until mid-2027 that includes a club option to extend for an extra season.
The 30-year-old defender faced physical setbacks this season, missing recent matches due to a shin injury.
The 30-year-old right-back returned to Feyenoord in 2023 following an earlier spell at the club.
Nieuwkoop battled recurring injuries over recent seasons.
Goalkeeper Roster Questions
Florian Kastenmeier arrived last summer on a free transfer from Fortuna Düsseldorf on a one-year deal containing an option for another year. The 29-year-old German gives Feyenoord the authority to extend his stay until mid-2028.
Contracts for Mannou Berger and Liam Bossin also expire. Feyenoord holds an option to extend the 22-year-old Berger by a season, while the 30-year-old Bossin joined initially on loan from FC Dordrecht before a permanent transfer.
Tjark Ernst has not yet made an undisputed impression in goal.
Long-Term Roster Planning
Feyenoord faces additional roster decisions for the summer of 2028 involving Oussama Targhalline, Jakub Moder, Thomas Beelen, Gijs Smal, and Mats Deijl. Youngsters Thijs Kraaijeveld, Jerayno Schaken, and Shaqueel van Persie are also signed until mid-2028.
Discussions regarding a possible contract extension for Targhalline are underway without a definitive agreement so far.
