Anis Hadj Moussa refuses to play for Feyenoord ahead of Barcelona match

Feyenoord faces a roster dilemma before their upcoming Champions League match against Barcelona. Winger Anis Hadj Moussa declared himself absent from the squad after the club rejected a €37 million transfer bid from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad. Feyenoord declined the offer because the Dutch transfer window had already closed, preventing the team from signing a replacement player. Hadj Moussa previously missed the Eredivisie match against NEC Nijmegen following his decision to stop reporting for duty. The Algerian international, who recorded 11 goals and six assists last season, remains a key attacking option for manager Giovani Van Bronckhorst. Because the Saudi transfer window remains open until September 6, the dispute could persist during the preparations for the match at Camp Nou.
