Saudi Arabian football club Al Ahli just dropped a massive bid for Algerian winger Anis Hadj Moussa, and the ripple effects extend well beyond the pitch. The Saudi Pro League club is targeting the 24-year-old Feyenoord star as a successor to Riyad Mahrez, with the Dutch club reportedly holding firm on a €37 million valuation.
The deal on the table
Al Ahli submitted its offer for Hadj Moussa in late June 2026, joining what has become a competitive chase for one of the Eredivisie’s most promising talents. Feyenoord has already rejected a €30 million bid from Al Hilal, another Saudi Pro League club, signaling the Dutch side won’t let their asset go cheap.
The club’s asking price sits in the €35-37 million range. That’s a staggering return on investment considering Feyenoord signed Hadj Moussa from Belgian side Patro Eisden for just €3.5 million in July 2024.
Hadj Moussa’s current market value is pegged at around €23 million, meaning Feyenoord is asking for a significant premium above his estimated worth. The club locked him into a contract extension through June 2030 back in August 2025, a savvy bit of forward planning that now gives them maximum leverage at the negotiation table.
