Jerayno Schaken's Transfer Bid Rejected by Feyenoord Amid Family Criticism

Seventeen‑year‑old Jerayno Schaken, the son of former Feyenoord international Ruben Schaken, has been linked with a move to FC Twente. The Enschede club reportedly submitted a €1 million offer for the youth forward, but Feyenoord’s director Dévy Rigaux dismissed the bid as absurd and refused to negotiate.

Ruben Schaken publicly condemned the Feyenoord board’s handling of the situation, calling it sabotage and alleging the club had previously promised his son a place in first‑team preparations. Feyenoord responded that the claims contain falsehoods and reiterated that Jerayno is one of the academy’s top prospects. FC Twente’s technical director Erik ten Hag is said to be reviewing the case and may present a second offer.

The dispute highlights the tension between the clubs over a promising youngster and the involvement of the player’s family in the public debate.
