Osman, who was signed by Brighton from Nordsjaelland earlier this year for £16 million, faces an uncertain future at the Amex Stadium. Despite the significant investment, the Seagulls are considering a loan move for the 19-year-old, with a view to reassessing his progress next summer.
Reports from the Netherlands suggest that Osman's potential move is tied to the departure of Feyenoord’s Calvin Stengs, who is expected to join Charlotte FC in the United States. Feyenoord are keen on Osman as Stengs' replacement and are pushing for a loan deal without a purchase option.
Sources indicate that Brighton are open to the idea of loaning Osman due to the surplus of attacking options within their squad.
Feyenoord's interest appears to be concrete, with the Dutch club moving quickly to secure the winger ahead of other interested parties.
Osman impressed during his stint in Denmark, where he notched six goals and seven assists in 26 matches, sparking excitement about his potential.
