According to exclusive information from Africafoot, Feyenoord Rotterdam has entered advanced negotiations with Mohamed Ihattaren. The club has a clear intention to terminate his contract with Fortuna Sittard by activating his release clause, which is estimated at 3 million euros. The administrative and legal procedures to activate the clause still need to be finalized.

Mohamed Ihattaren, a 24-year-old Dutch-Moroccan attacking midfielder, has stated that Feyenoord is his dream club. Speaking on Goedemorgen Eredivisie, Ihattaren confirmed that his Fortuna Sittard coach, Danny Buijs, told him he is good enough for Feyenoord if he makes another small step. Fortuna recently activated an option in Ihattaren's contract, which now runs until mid-2027 and includes a release clause of three million euros. The player also revealed that Fortuna would not create difficulties if a club offered slightly less, explaining that since he was a free transfer, the club is not anticipated to dispute a minor difference in a potential transfer fee. This season in the Eredivisie, he has scored 6 goals and provided 10 assists in 24 games. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €3.00m.
