Anis Hadj Moussa to Al Ittihad
This move fell through. Last report: Telesport (De Telegraaf sport), 14 October 2026.
Earlier read, written at an earlier stage of this story: Anis Hadj Moussa's move to Al Ittihad has fallen apart, at least for now. A verbal agreement was in place on the fee, but Feyenoord want bank guarantees before letting the Algerian winger leave, and the Saudi club will not provide them. Ben Jacobs called it an atypical request from Feyenoord's side, and it has been enough to stall a deal that looked close only days earlier. The €15m rejected bid noted by Santi Aouna shows just how far apart the numbers had moved before the guarantee issue even surfaced. The sourcing here is strong. Loic Tanzi and Santi Aouna both broke details of the verbal agreement and the guarantee sticking point within hours of each other, and Ben Jacobs corroborated the collapse independently. Fabrizio Romano's earlier reporting, which flagged Al Ittihad's fallback interest in Luiz Henrique if talks dragged, adds useful context on how seriously the Saudi club has treated a plan B. Three credible voices telling largely the same story is about as solid as transfer reporting gets. Right now this looks like a long shot. Feyenoord have shown they will not budge without financial security, and Al Ittihad's refusal to offer it suggests a genuine impasse rather than posturing. For the move to happen, either Feyenoord soften their demand or Al Ittihad blink and provide the guarantee. Neither looks likely today. Feyenoord have sold well before, Leeds paid €25m in 2022 and Brentford €20m in 2025, so a fee between €15m and €24m for a player bought for just €4m from Patro Eisden in 2024 would still represent
