The transfer market of Real Madrid looms on the horizon for Jerayno Schaken, a 17-year-old winger who has just debuted for Feyenoord and has pointed to the white club as his dream team. The Dutch U-17 international scored against NEC on September 5, five minutes after coming on, before traveling with his team to face Barcelona in the Champions League.

Real Madrid Enters Jerayno Schaken's Conversation

Schaken didn't hesitate when asked about his reference club after Feyenoord's 1-3 victory over NEC: he replied Real Madrid. The statement came after he became, at 17 years and 79 days, the youngest debutant to score in Eredivisie's history.

The striker has been with Feyenoord since 2025, when he arrived from Heerenveen, and is under contract until June 30, 2028. Before making it to the first team, Schaken had gone through the youth ranks of PEC Zwolle, Ajax, and Heerenveen.

His debut also holds a family component. Ruben Schaken, the player's father, was a Netherlands international who played 7 games for the national team apart from his time at Feyenoord. Ruben closely followed his son's progress and had been advocating for a chance with the first team over the summer.

The market context adds another relevant detail. FC Twente even made a bid close to 1 million euros for the striker during the summer, but Feyenoord kept the player and further integrated him into the first team. There was also interest from foreign clubs, although no offer from Real Madrid is on record.

Feyenoord Prepares for Champions League Duel with Schaken as a Mystery

Feyenoord, which signed Mika Mármol for free from Las Palmas this summer, heads into the Barcelona match after securing 11 out of 15 points in the Eredivisie, with three wins and two draws. The victory against NEC also saw Schaken score his first goal for the first team.

The debutant only needed five minutes to score after replacing Gaoussou Diarra. In the 2026/27 season, he currently has 1 match, 31 minutes, and 1 goal in the Eredivisie.

His presence against Barcelona is not guaranteed yet. Schaken is registered for the Champions League, but he admitted after his debut that he was unsure about starting in the lineup; the decision rests with Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

Therefore, the next step for Real Madrid and Schaken does not involve negotiations yet. The youngster is under contract with Feyenoord until 2028, and the Dutch club rejected Twente's offer over the summer; any move by Real Madrid would first require the monitoring to evolve into a formal proposal.

For Jerayno Schaken, the scenario has changed in just a few weeks: from the youth setup to scoring for the first team and now facing the prospect of playing at the Camp Nou. If he continues his progression, the name of Real Madrid will reappear in his career as a personal goal, even if there is no active operation today.
