Belgian concerns over Feyenoord's scouting list from Club Brugge
Nacho Ferri, the 21‑year‑old striker of KVC Westerlo, is on the brink of joining Feyenoord for an estimated fee of eight to nine million euros, a move discussed on the #DoneDeal podcast of VoetbalPrimeur. The discussion highlighted the potential transfer as a key story for both clubs.
Ferri is described in the podcast as a great talent, with his age and position underscoring his rising profile in Belgian football.
A speaker in the #DoneDeal podcast said, "He reminded me a bit of Graziano Pellé, but even faster and more mobile," drawing a comparison to the Italian forward.
Technical director Dévy Rigaux has been accused, from sources in Belgium, of taking a scouting list belonging to Club Brugge.
The same list reportedly named both Ferri and Charles Vanhoutte, prompting a commentator to remark, "That would be a very bad thing," questioning the motives behind the selection.
The criticism centres on whether the club is prioritising its actual needs or personal interests when compiling such lists.
The podcast also touched on broader topics, including Ajax's policy, Feyenoord's target Ferri, and the status of Ricardo Pepi, offering a wide‑ranging view of the transfer market.
Observers will watch for an official announcement from Feyenoord in the coming days to confirm whether the move materialises.
