NEC is exploring a transfer for Jerayno Schaken and is preparing a bid for the seventeen-year-old Dutch right winger. The Feyenoord player has also attracted interest from FC Twente, which previously had a one-million-euro offer rejected, and from clubs abroad. It was reported in July 2026 that Feyenoord's asking price is €10 million. Feyenoord's attempts to extend Schaken's contract, which runs until mid-2028, have been challenging, as the player's representatives turned down the latest proposal. The youth international has 4 goals in 9 caps for the Netherlands U17 team and scored a combined 22 goals across U17 and U19 leagues in the 2025/2026 season. One possibility being considered is that NEC's interest in Schaken could be included in discussions with Feyenoord regarding Feyenoord's pursuit of NEC winger Sami Ouaissa.
