Van Persie expressed clear surprise and frustration, categorically denying the story's accuracy and questioning its sourcing.\n\n\"I read the piece and was quoted, but I have not spoken to those people,\" Van Persie stated during a press interaction on Friday. \"So the story is not correct.\" His comments cast significant doubt on the narrative presented by the English newspaper, which had painted a picture of an amicable, pre-determined split between the player and the Dutch club.\n\nThe report in question suggested that both parties had agreed to go their separate ways after the current campaign. However, Van Persie's denial indicates that no such conversations or agreements have taken place at a managerial level. The Feyenoord boss clarified that discussions regarding Sterling's future are still pending and have not yet been scheduled.\n\n\"I have not yet sat down with Raheem and his people. That will happen next week or the week after,\" Van Persie explained. This timeline suggests that any definitive decision on whether Sterling's contract will be extended or terminated is still some time away, contrary to the finality implied by the initial report.\n\nThe context of Sterling's tenure at Feyenoord adds layers to this situation. The English international's move to Rotterdam was met with considerable fanfare in February, but his on-pitch contributions have not matched the initial expectations. In seven appearances, Sterling has managed only a single assist, a modest return for a player of his caliber and reputation.\n\nHis recent role has also been limited. Sterling has been an unused substitute in two of Feyenoord's last three matches, spending the full ninety minutes on the bench. This lack of regular playing time naturally fuels speculation about his long-term future with the club, making reports of an impending exit seem plausible on the surface.\n\nDespite these performance metrics and reduced minutes, Van Persie insists the club's stance is not yet finalized. The likelihood of a contract renewal appears slim based on current form, but the manager's words emphasize that the process is still open. The upcoming talks with Sterling's representatives will be crucial in determining the next steps for both the player and the team.\n\nThis episode highlights the often-turbulent relationship between media reports and club management in modern football. Van Persie's public denial serves to reassert control over the club's narrative and protect the player from premature speculation. For Feyenoord, managing this situation carefully is important for squad harmony and planning for the next transfer window.\n\nFor the Eredivisie, Sterling's situation is a subplot in the broader story of high-profile players moving to the Dutch league. His success or failure could influence future decisions by other elite players considering a similar switch. The resolution of his future will therefore be watched closely by fans and analysts across European football.\n\nBased on reporting from Voetbal International.","news","Feyenoord manager Robin van Persie firmly denies a report claiming Raheem Sterling will leave, stating he never spoke to the newspaper and no decision on the player's future has been made.","328197186238025729","326135624748765184","Eredivisie","0","2026-05-08T13:35:00Z","van-persie-refutes-sterling-exit-report-questions-telegraph-s-source","Voetbal International","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vi.nl\u002Fvideo\u002Fvan-persie-ontkent-verhaal-over-vertrek-sterling-heb-die-krant-niet-gesproken","326257563425312768","Feyenoord",[74,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84],"326222707169431552","326255040320770048","326257536372051968","326257537559040000","326257546094448640","326257569154732032","326257575404244992","326257546392244224",[75,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93],"Anderlecht","FK Zalgiris Vilnius","Metz","Benfica","Tottenham","Metalurh Zaporizhya","Vanløse","Nottingham Forest","Van Persie Refutes Sterling Exit Report, Questions Telegraph's Source",[96,124,154,178],{"awayTeamId":97,"awayTeamName":98,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":99,"homeTeamId":100,"homeTeamName":101,"id":102,"leagueId":67,"leagueName":68,"matchId":103,"matchName":104,"publishedAt":105,"slug":106,"sourceName":107,"sourceURL":108,"teamId":109,"teamName":110,"teamIds":111,"teamNames":117,"title":123},"326257563194626048","PSV Eindhoven","Michel, recently relegated with Girona, takes the helm at Ajax on a contract until 2028.
