Feyenoord has lost a string of young players to foreign clubs. This season Kyle Ebilicio has signed to Arsenal, 15-year-old Nathan Ake to Chelsea and Luc Castaignos to Internazionale.
According to the AD, the club believes football broker Sören Lerby and Manchester City approached the youngster before he was 16.
The KNVB bans the involvement of brokers in the career of players aged under 16, as well as official transfers.
