Morocco targets Feyenoord's Van Persie in Netherlands battle
Eligible thanks to his mother’s origins, Feyenoord striker Shaqueel Van Persie finds himself at the center of a sporting battle. The Moroccan recruitment team wants to attract him to strengthen their attacking sector, continuing their strategy focused on dual nationals.
At 19 years old, the young striker is establishing himself as one of Feyenoord’s great prospects. Author of two goals in his first three Eredivisie appearances before being hampered by a complex injury late in the season, he displays a complete and voracious profile. This breakthrough comes at the right time for the Moroccan national team, in search of a true number nine. Currently, coach Ouahbi is repositioning attacking midfielder Saibari in this position, while El Kaabi and En-Nesiry are reaching an advanced phase of maturity in their careers.

Son of Bouchra, born in Morocco, and Robin Van Persie, the second-best goalscorer in Dutch history, the player is the subject of much speculation. Several media outlets claim he has already chosen to represent the Lions of the Atlas over the Dutch national team, although other reports deny this decision. The possibility of seeing him wear the Moroccan shirt remains very real on both sporting and administrative grounds.

This offensive is part of an assumed and uninterrupted recruitment policy that does not stop even during the World Cup period. As AS recalls, the Moroccan recruitment cell has already attempted to attract players in an identical situation, such as Lamine Yamal or Thiago Pitarch. This method follows the success of the Brahim Diaz case, born in Spain but eligible thanks to his father Sufiel, of Moroccan nationality.
