Youngster unable to make Eredivisie switch...
By Matt Monaghan
Di Santo, 21, had been lined up by the Eredivisie side to bolster their attacking options for the season ahead. Negotiations had begun to allow the Argentine to follow his spell at Blackburn Rovers with another temporary switch.
Speaking to Algemeen Dagblad, Beenhakker stated Feyenoord had moved on to other targets as they couldn't afford to contribute to Di Santo's wages.
"Chelsea requires a contribution towards the salary of Di Santo and we can not afford that," Beenhakker revealed.
"I do have more irons in the fire, though no guarantees. I'll keep searching for a striker."
