Club delighted after transfer battle with Leicester City to get Brighton man – Real bargain signing
Feyenoord are continuing to celebrate their success in signing Jakub Moder from Brighton and Hove Albion in January, after beating Leicester and a Saudi club to his signature.
That’s according to Algemeen Dagblad, relayed by Voetbal Primeur, who cover the transfer today and how Feyenoord beat Leicester, Udinese and a club from Saudi Arabia to the bargain deal.
The newspaper explains that the Polish midfielder could have made his ‘filthy rich’ in ‘one fell swoop’ during January as he had a big offer from the Middle East.
However, he opted for the sporting plan presented to him by Feyenoord instead, something they’re celebrating to this day.
The Dutch side believe they have bought a top player ‘for a song’ given he cost €1.5m to sign from Brighton and has been an ‘indispensable’ part of their side ever since.
Getting More was no easy task, according to the newspaper, as Udinese were concrete in their interest and so were Leicester City. Then there was Saudi Arabia, where the midfielder could have made his family rich for life in one fell swoop.
He rejected those offers and has since played ten games in all competitions, even competing in the Champions League.
He’s starred in pretty much all of those games and added to the delight of Feyenoord, who are very pleased that they snatched him from Brighton ahead of the likes of Leicester and the other suitors.
