The Croatian forward is on a big salary and refuses to compromise.<\/p>\n<p>Feyenoord signed Ivanusec from Dinamo Zagreb in the summer of 2023 for \u20ac8 million. He has never really come good in Rotterdam.<\/p>\n<p>With a contract at De Kuip until mid-2028, the left winger does not have to leave despite interest from clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Royal Antwerp recently approached Feyenoord, according to Gouka. As soon as they heard Ivanusec&#8217;s wage demands, they stopped negotiations immediately.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ivanusec then says: &#8216;if I&#8217;m going to earn less, then I&#8217;m not leaving.&#8217; Feyenoord then think: we can pay him that salary, but we also want to make some money from him,&#8221; Gouka said.<\/p>\n<p>As for a return to the Feyenoord squad, Gouka says that is really not on the cards. &#8220;I sometimes read people saying: try Ivanu\u0161ec on the left wing, because it cannot get any worse. Those people do not see what kind of form he is currently in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even so, a summer exit from Rotterdam has not been ruled out completely. &#8220;Maybe the player will get nervous towards the end of the window and still be willing to compromise.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feyenoord do not look likely to offload Ivan Ivanusec this summer, club watcher Mikos Gouka reports in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34105,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[6],"tags":[19,2034,16511],"class_list":["post-34104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-antwerp","tag-antwerp","tag-feyenoord","tag-transfers"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@be\/117149699013109698","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
