Feyenoord striker Dirk Kuyt has been sold for 50 per cent to investment company 'Soccer Investments and Representations (SIR)', according to Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad. The Algemeen Dagblad reported on Saturday that Feyenoord sold Salomon Kalou to SIR for a fee of £6.2m. The investment company would have plans to loan Kalou to Benfica and sell him on in the coming years for big money to a European giant.

Today Algemeen Dagblad revealed that Feyenoord also sold their biggest asset, Dirk Kuyt, to the investment company. Feyenoord will remain co-owner and will receive £3.5 million immediately. If Feyenoord sells Kuyt, both parties will receive half of the fee. Feyenoord have to accepts any offer from £8.3 million and higher.

The destination is to decided by the player himself though. If Kuyt or Kalou doesn't want to move to a interested club they won't have to. The ultimate decision still is the players'.

Feyenoord denied reports about any deal with SIR regarding the Kalou story on Saturday.

Tottenham Hotspur is Kuyt's most likely destination at the moment with the North-London club already offering £9.7 million.
