Earlier this week, we covered claims from the Dutch media which revealed Feyenoord’s interest in Fulham player Kevin Mbabu.

The fullback is currently on a season long loan at Augsburg, and they’d need to agree to cut short his spell so he’d be free to move to the Netherlands.

As outlet 1908 today features an update on this situation, they explain it’s difficult for Feyenoord to take Mbabu from Fulham.

They say even though there’s been a ‘concrete approach’ for the signing, the negotiation is proving to be ‘quite complicated’ because Augsburg aren’t keen on letting him go.

The German club want at least a ‘light compensation’ to cut short the spell, and by the way 1908 writes, Augsburg and Fulham won’t be paying that.

Despite missing a couple of games because of injury, Mbabu has been a regular starter at the Bundesliga side, with 12 appearances this season so far, and it wouldn’t make sense for the club to just let him go in the middle of the season.

So if Feyenoord really want the player, they better get in touch with Fulham in the summer. For the Premier League side, it makes little sense to pay any money for a simple loan swap, especially given Mbabu is being used.
