It is reported that Feyenoord's interest in Ørjan Nyland, a 35-year-old Norwegian goalkeeper and free agent, is a result of the club's financial situation. The club's delay in signing a new keeper demonstrates that funds are not currently available. This financial issue is also why Feyenoord has not yet acted on its interest in another target, Tjark Ernst, who has a five million euro release clause. It is said that this financial issue is the reason Nyland is now being considered. Nyland has 75 caps for Norway and a current market value of €800k, according to Transfermarkt.
