Feyenoord declines buying Ibrahim Osman after loan spell

The 20-year-old joined the Dutch champions on a season-long loan in August 2024, shortly after signing for Brighton from FC Nordsjælland.

Although the agreement did not include a mandatory buy clause, there was an option for Feyenoord to make the move permanent, an option they have now declined.

During his time in the Eredivisie, Osman made 32 appearances in all competitions, scoring four goals and providing three assists.

While he showed flashes of promise, particularly with his pace and direct style of play, Feyenoord have decided not to pursue a permanent deal.

The club confirmed his departure in a statement following their final game of the 2024/25 season against Heerenveen.

Osman was also thanked during a team gathering at their training base, 1908, marking the official end of the campaign.

Feyenoord enjoyed a strong season overall, winning the Johan Cruijff Shield and advancing to the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.

Osman’s loan move was part of Brighton’s development plan for the young Ghanaian, who had impressed in preseason fixtures against Villarreal and Kashima Antlers before his departure. The Dutch side covered his full wages during the loan.

On the international stage, Osman made his debut for the Ghana national team in March 2024 and was later included in the Black Stars squad for the June World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic.

He now returns to Brighton, where he will look to stake his claim under manager Fabian Hürzeler ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League season.
