Feyenoord played out an entertaining 2-2 draw against rivals Ajax yesterday at De Kuip, but thoughts quickly turned to whether highly-rated midfielder Kelvin Leerdam will be remaining with Ronald Koeman’s men.
A 90th minute equaliser handed Feyenoord a share of the spoils in the Eredivisie clash, but soon after the match the club’s technical director Martin van Geel was questioned over an extended contract for 22-year-old Leerdam.
And Van Geel revealed that he has set a time limit on the midfielder’s decision.
That date is this coming Thursday "otherwise the offer is withdrawn", Van Geel told NUsport.
"But I am assuming that this week we will have a positive answer from Kelvin.
"We have made every effort to keep him at Feyenoord.

"We hope he is going to stay with us for longer."
Leerdam’s current contract at De Kuip runs out next summer.
He has been a regular in Koeman’s team so far this season, playing nine times in the Eredivisie.
