Feyenoord announced through a statement on their official website that the Super Eagles striker Cyriel Dessers is returning to his parent club Racing Genk for the time being.
Feyenoord said goodbye to a number of players during the season finale on Thursday evening. And their head coach Arne Slot addressed Cyriel Dessers, Guus Til, Reiss Nelson and Valentin Cojocaru.
The Dutch Eredivisie giants stressed that the future of the Nigerian international is still uncertain. They added that the option that he plays at the Rotterdam club next season was still kept open.
An option to buy set at four million euros was embedded into Dessers’ contract. But the nonobligatory purchase option has not yet been executed.
The Super Eagle joined Feyenoord last summer in search of regular game time after he slipped down the pecking order of centre forwards at Racing Genk following the capture of Ike Ugbo from Chelsea.
Dessers was a key player for Feyenoord in the recently concluded season, featuring in 41 games across the Dutch Eredivisie, KNVB beker and Europa Conference League.
