Feyenoord Sign Rising Star Matteo Malasomma from Napoli

Feyenoord have signed young Italian player Matteo Malasomma from Napoli. They only paid training compensation to the Serie A club.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The team from Rotterdam announced the signing of Malasomma. He is a promising player who will boost their squad for the new Eredivisie season. Malasomma comes to Feyenoord after a successful year with Napoli’s Under-19 side, where he scored seven goals and provided six assists in 31 matches. The transfer required no fee other than the standard training compensation for developing young players. Malasomma may spend his first season in the Netherlands on loan at FC Dordrecht to gain senior football experience.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR FEYENOORD

Feyenoord came third in the Eredivisie last season, only behind PSV and Ajax. This performance means they will play in the Champions League again this season. The club is known for developing young players and promoting them to the first team. Malasomma’s creativity and attacking skills promise to add quality and depth as Feyenoord prepare for a busy domestic and European schedule.

WHAT COMES NEXT?

Feyenoord begin their Eredivisie season this weekend with an away match against NEC, right after playing Fenerbahce for the first leg of their Champions League playoffs. Malasomma is expected to start his Dutch career at FC Dordrecht in the Eerste Divisie. Regular football should help him adapt. Feyenoord will watch his progress closely, hoping he can soon challenge for a place in the senior side. They aim to close the gap with PSV and maintain their elite status in European football as they prepare for several crucial matches.
