AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (HOL) — Feyenoord has bolstered its youth ranks by signing 15-year-old Dutch youth international Nuuradiin Mahamud from PSV on Saturday. The promising defender, who inked a contract lasting until mid-2027, will join the Feyenoord Under-17 squad for the upcoming season.
Mahamud, a left-back with a strong track record in youth football, expressed his enthusiasm for the move. "I love winning matches and will always give my utmost," he said. "I hope to further develop myself at the club and look to the future with great confidence."
From his humble beginnings with the amateurs of SV Batavia '90 in Lelystad, Nuuradiin Mahamud has shown remarkable progress. He quickly ascended through the youth ranks of Ajax before moving to PSV for the 23/24 campaign. Last season, he debuted as a youth international with the Netherlands U-15 team.
The transfer is a major move for both Feyenoord and PSV. It underscores Feyenoord's dedication to bolstering its youth setup with top talents. While Mahamud's previous move to PSV came with a price tag of € 105,000 for the reigning Dutch champions, the transfer fee for his move to Feyenoord remains shrouded in secrecy.
Feyenoord has a storied history of developing young talents, with many players progressing to the first team and even the national squad. Mahamud’s addition is expected to enhance Feyenoord’s defensive capabilities in their youth teams, potentially paving the way for future first-team opportunities. Fans and analysts will closely watch his development, as he represents the next generation of Dutch football talent.
Feyenoord's Director of Football, Mark Koevermans, commented on the transfer, stating, "We are thrilled to have Nuuradiin join us. His potential and dedication align perfectly with our vision for the club's future."
