Feyenoord's 'Maar' dilemma: must out‑creative Ajax' left flank

With the season start looming, Feyenoord Maar still lack a left‑flank upgrade after Leo Sauer’s €15 million exit to VfB Stuttgart, while Gonçalo Borges and Gaoussou Diarra have yet to leave a mark in Rotterdam; the club’s need is underscored on the VoetbalPrimeur podcast.

Leo Sauer departed for VfB Stuttgart for fifteen million euros. With the competition start approaching, Feyenoord still requires a left‑flank reinforcement.

Gonçalo Borges has yet to make his mark in Rotterdam. Gaoussou Diarra also remains without a noticeable contribution.

The #DoneDeal podcast, produced by VoetbalPrimeur, featured former player Timo Letschert. Editor Dennie van Laar also participated, and together they named possible reinforcements for Feyenoord.

"I actually hope for them that they also lose Diarra and Borges, so they can really do something," said Van Laar. He expressed this view as a way to free space for new signings.

"I was also thinking of Driouech from PSV. He does not shine at PSV and I see him succeeding at Feyenoord. The question is whether they can afford a 'cannon'," Letschert remarked, raising the financial question.

Feyenoord must resolve the left‑flank issue before the league begins, as the club’s recruitment will be crucial with the season imminent.
