Luciano Valente

Luciano Valente of Feyenoord was born in Groningen, Netherlands on 4 October 2003 (age 23).

Luciano Valente, born on 4 October 2003 (age 23), is a Dutch central attacking midfielder now with Feyenoord, where he wears the number 10 shirt. His current market value is around £8.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His career to this point is shaped most clearly by FC Groningen. Across three league seasons there, Valente made 86 appearances and scored nine goals, establishing himself as a regular rather than a passing academy name. His best league return came in 2023–2024, when he scored seven times in 34 appearances.

At Feyenoord, he remains part of the first-team picture in 2026–2027. He has made 12 Eredivisie appearances and scored five league goals, contributing seven goals in 21 appearances across all competitions. He has also had four Champions League outings for Feyenoord, which suggests he is not merely filling out the squad list.

Valente has also been involved in UEFA Under-21 qualifying, with five appearances and two goals. His senior career remains relatively young, but the outline is clear enough: a Groningen-developed career now being tested at Feyenoord, with regular minutes and a useful goal return.
