\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Feyenoord have asked the Dutch Football Association KNVB to look into Manchester City’s signing of their prospect Karim Rekik.\n<\/p>\n

The Dutch youth international is believed to have agreed a deal with the Premier League club, deciding to quit De Kuip before he could sign a professional deal with them.<\/p>\n

The Rotterdam club have lost a host of players in recent years to foreign raiders with the likes of Kyle Ebicilio (Arsenal), Nathan Ake (Chelsea), Jeffrey Bruma (Chelsea) and Rajiv de la Parra (Caen) all departing.<\/p>\n

Inter Milan concluded a deal for their prized asset Luc Castaignos last week and now Feyenoord seem to be becoming exasperated by their lack of ability to hang onto their top talent.<\/p>\n

Frustration<\/h4>\n

“This is unfortunate for Feyenoord and the supporters,” said general manager Eric Gudde.<\/p>\n

“But in most cases these moves do not work out, especially for the boy himself – when they go abroad they are just 16 and it all seems great but if you look at the statistics the majority end in huge disappointment for the player.<\/p>\n

“He can get a big foreign club, but he never gets in the first-team and is then released and returns, several years later to the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

“Even players who leave Holland when they’ve built a career here and even played for Oranje national side sometimes have it difficult abroad. Babel, Rigter, Drenthe, Maduro, De Ridder, Musampa, Stam…we all know the examples. <\/p>\n

“It’s hard and it’s not just about being a good player. These lads are so young, though and the stats are clear: most of these adventures fail. Most of these kids are badly developed and then they’re out on loan and then they come back here, to actually have lost progress. <\/p>\n

“The fact that Holland develops better than England should be a reason for the English Clubs to leave them here too. I can imagine deals between Dutch and English clubs on a development level, but signing 15 year olds is a simply stupid. For all involved.”<\/p>\n

No issues<\/h5>\n

As part of Feyenoord’s complaint they are also taking action against the agent involved in Rekik’s move to City, Soren Lerby.<\/p>\n

But the former Danish international insists he has done nothing wrong and is more than happy with how things have progressed.<\/p>\n

“I am an experienced professional, I have been a player and a coach for many years and I well aquatinted with Fifa rules,” he told De Telegraaf.<\/i><\/p>\n

“I respect those rules and nothing has been broken.<\/p>\n

“If a player who does not have a contract with them wants to go abroad, I cannot stop him. You cannot blame Manchester City or the young player for a contract he gets.”<\/p>\n

Lerby explains that Dutch clubs do not complain when they raid his own country Denmark for talent, as Ajax did with prospect Christian Eriksen.<\/p>\n

“At his Danish club they wanted to keep him, but Eriksen wanted to go Ajax,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I am going to be having discussions with Feyenoord and the KNVB.”<\/p>\n

Rekik is understood to have agreed a four-year deal at City, shunning interest from Juventus and Inter Milan, and he will move in the summer.<\/p>\n

Feyenoord are claiming that both City and Lerby agreed the deal, prior to his 16th birthday in February.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
