In early August 2026, Feyenoord midfielder Karim El Ahmadi highlighted coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s plan to make the team dominant at home, stressing a more balanced attack and a tighter squad as the club trims a 40‑player roster. The focus is on increasing goal contributions from multiple positions and setting firm transfer‑price expectations.

Two days later, van Bronckhorst discussed how the club is using medical data and player feedback to manage physical loads, emphasizing intensive, match‑intensity training. He warned that several key forwards are drawing interest from other clubs and that the upcoming transfer window may bring changes, while noting defender Jeremiah St. Juste’s return to full training after injury problems.
