Young midfielder has no intention of penning new deal at De Kuip
Feyenoord midfielder Leroy Fer has made it clear that he will not pen a new deal with the Eredivisie club.
The 21-year-old, whose current contract expires next June, has been heavily linked with a move away from De Kuip this summer.
Eredivisie rivals FC Twente were chasing his signature but reports in the Dutch media suggest they have abandoned attempts to capture the youngster after refusing to meet Feyenoord's asking price.
Fer says he wants to remain in Holland but is ready to leave Rotterdam, even if he has to wait until next year.
Clear
"I've been clear - I will not sign on (at Feyenoord), even if I do not get away this summer," he told
NUSport.
"My agent is keeping all foreign interest now, since I would prefer to continue to develop in the Netherlands.
"Since the club can earn millions for me now, they are better off letting me go to Twente.
"I only have one year left on my contract. If they can still get millions for me, they should do."
Feyenoord technical director Martin van Geel has reiterated he wants to keep the Holland international at the club.
He said: "We prefer to keep Fer here. Only if the financial gain or loss transcends the sport will we let him go - and preferably not to a competitor."
