Oguzhan Özyakup has reported on Friday at training complex 1908 to attend the group training at Feyenoord. Basically the mercenary of Besiktas will return on June 30, but let us know that he would like to stay with Feyenoord longer.
The 27-year-old Zaandammer scored his Eredivisie debut with a goal against FC Emmen, but eventually made only four official appearances, partly due to injury injuries and the outbreak of the corona virus. Nevertheless, Feyenoord is satisfied and that feeling is mutual. Özyakup is quoted by De Telegraaf as saying, “I have a two-month contract as a rental player and will continue to train for the time being here. If Feyenoord wants to keep me, I will stay here”, Özyakup is quoted by De Telegraaf.
Whether that is feasible remains to be seen. Özyakup is still tied to Besiktas until 2022, the club for which he already had 268 games in his legs. Renting the 43-time international from Turkey again or taking over definitively does not seem financially realistic for Feyenoord, which has already shifted its sights to Joey Veerman from sc Heerenveen. Özyakup came to Feyenoord last winter to take the spotlight for the 2020 European Championship, which has been postponed by one year.
