Feyenoord 2026 player departures

Entities: Feyenoord Rotterdam · OGC Nice · Calvin Stengs · AZ Alkmaar · Marc Overmars

Overview

In late July 2026 Feyenoord announced the exit of two high‑profile players. On 22 July midfielder Ramiz Zerrouki ended his three‑year spell and returned to former club FC Twente. The same day winger Calvin Stengs mutually terminated his contract after two injury‑plagued seasons.

Two days later, on 24 July, Stengs signed a free‑transfer deal with AZ Alkmaar, the club where he grew up as a youth. Reports highlighted that he had contributed eight goals and seventeen assists in his debut season, helping Feyenoord win the KNVB Cup and the Johan Cruijff Schaal, but persistent injuries limited his later involvement. AZ stressed his versatility – capable of playing as an attacking midfielder, right‑winger or deep‑lying playmaker – and accepted the injury risk.

By 26 July, medical examinations were completed, confirming the transfer with no fee involved. AZ valued Stengs at roughly €4.5 million and framed his return as an opportunity to restore his form and add creativity to the midfield ahead of the new season.
