In a significant move for Dutch football, Feyenoord has announced the signing of Anel Ahmedhodzic from Sheffield United. The 26-year-old defender has joined the Rotterdam-based club on a four-year contract, with a reported transfer fee of approximately £15.6 million (18 million euros).

Ahmedhodzic, who previously played for Swedish club Malmo, made a substantial impact at Sheffield United. Since joining in the summer of 2022, he played 114 matches, scoring 12 goals. In the 2024/25 season, he contributed 7 goals and 2 assists in 40 games, helping the club achieve promotion.

His defensive and offensive contributions were crucial during this period. Ahmedhodzic's presence was notably felt during critical moments, such as when Sheffield United secured promotion in injury time, even during a game when he was temporarily off the pitch due to a head injury.

His performance helped Sheffield United financially as well, with the club realizing increased revenues and profits, partly reflecting the team's success and visibility in top competitions.

Ahmedhodzic is now looking forward to his new challenge at Feyenoord. He expressed gratitude towards Sheffield United supporters and excitement about putting on the Feyenoord shirt and giving it his all with his new teammates. He is also focused on ensuring his eligibility for Feyenoord's Champions League qualifying clash against Fenerbahce.

Feyenoord is aiming to improve its performance in the upcoming football season with the addition of Ahmedhodzic. The club finished third in the Eredivisie last season and is looking to strengthen its squad. The match between Feyenoord and Fenerbahce is scheduled for Wednesday.

Ahmedhodzic's move to Feyenoord is a significant acquisition for the Dutch club. He was pivotal in Sheffield United's promotion to the Premier League in the 2022-23 season. His positive attitude towards the transfer is evident, and he is looking forward to many great things to come with Feyenoord.
