Feyenoord Japanese forwards transfer saga

On 25 July 2026, Feyenoord set a steep transfer price of €30‑35 million for Japanese striker Kiyose Ueda, turning down an offer from Everton and indicating the fee exceeded what English clubs were prepared to pay. The club also signalled a desire to keep the player, whose contract runs to 2028.

The following day, 26 July 2026, Feyenoord broadened its stance, saying it would consider selling Ueda – now referred to as Ayase Ueda – as well as forward Anis Hadj Moussa and defender Tsuyoshi Watanabe if strong bids materialised. While no specific fees were disclosed, the club identified potential replacements and highlighted its successful preseason performance.

Together the snapshots show Feyenoord moving from a firm high‑price demand to a more flexible willingness to negotiate on Ueda and other Japanese players, reflecting a shift toward possible departures if offers meet the club’s expectations.
