Feyenoord made an initial offer of approximately 6 million euros for Mamdou Sangaré, which was immediately rejected by Rapid Wien. Feyenoord expressed willingness to increase their offer to 8 million euros including bonuses, but this was still insufficient to convince Rapid Wien to agree to a winter transfer. Sangaré is considered an important player by Rapid Wien and is under contract until the summer of 2028. The club is not willing to let him go at the last moment.

Feyenoord hopes to strengthen their squad this winter with Mamadou Sangaré, according to 1908.nl. The Rotterdam club is 'busy' with the arrival of the midfielder, who is under contract with Rapid Wien. It is intended to be a permanent transfer, but it is unclear what Sangaré will cost and whether Rapid Wien is willing to cooperate with a departure. According to transfermarkt.com, the 22-year-old midfielder, who is contracted in Austria until mid-2028, is valued at around 4.5 million euros.
