Aymen Sliti joins Excelsior Rotterdam on season‑long loan from Feyenoord

Aymen Sliti, a 20‑year‑old winger from the Feyenoord Academy, has been loaned to Excelsior Rotterdam for the 2025‑26 Eredivisie season. The agreement includes no purchase option, meaning Sliti will return to Feyenoord after the loan, where his contract runs until mid‑2029.

Excelsior, which finished 13th last season, view the loan as a boost to their flanks, planning to use Sliti primarily as a right‑winger to give him regular top‑flight minutes. Feyenoord hope the spell will aid his development, as he struggled to break into their first team despite 23 appearances, one goal and two assists.

Fans expressed mixed reactions: some see the move as a chance for Sliti to prove his talent, while others doubt he will ever become a regular for Feyenoord. The club’s coaching staff, including Excelsior coach Ruben den Uil, welcomed the deal.
