Apart from the Saibari deal, PSV receives €55 million in transfer fees for three starting players.
1 min readThe transfer of Ismael Saibari from PSV to southern Germany is approaching completion. In all likelihood, the million-euro deal between PSV and Fc Bayern will be made public next Wednesday.
It is also increasingly clear that the transfer violence at the Philips Stadium still needs to get going, but we’ll get to that in a moment. The millions for Saibari are, in any case, coming up, and that is good news. The expectation is that there will be heavy investment this summer. The Moroccan international must be replaced, after all, because quite a few goals and assists are lost with the departure of Saibari, who was developed at PSV.
Eindhovens Dagblad further reports that, aside from the Saibari deal, some 55 million euros in transfer fees may be cashed in depending on whether the three base players Sergiño Dest, Mauro Júnior and Joey Veerman are going to leave this summer. At the moment, it currently looks as though at least two of the three players mentioned will go, but everything still has to be worked out.
So will a massive exodus of youth players get going this summer after all? It isn’t necessarily the intention, but it certainly seems that way. The Eindhovens Dagblad nevertheless reports that no 'complete sell-off or exodus' is expected at PSV. The Eindhovens Dagblad reports that Sergiño Dest, Mauro Júnior and Joey Veerman have a fixed buyout clause in the relevant contracts, although it cannot be activated for the entire summer.

Sergiño Dest, Mauro Júnior and Joey Veerman can and may, for a respective 23 million euros, 12 million euros and 20 million euros, leave PSV this summer. But the relevant buyout clauses in their contracts will no longer be valid in a few weeks.
Eindhovens Dagblad reports that a 'complete sell-off or exodus' is not expected. However, it is still necessary to take into account English clubs making late moves in the transfer window. Exactly how long the clauses run is not clear, but it is said to be until mid-July.
The conclusion of Eindhovens Dagblad is therefore that interested clubs will need to move quickly for PSV if they actually want to submit a million-euro offer for Dest, Mauro and Veerman. After mid-July, it will be a different story. If clubs still want to move in for the aforementioned players before mid-July, the result for PSV will be that 55 million euros will nevertheless be collected in transfer fees. That figure is separate from the Saibari deal, in which PSV, including bonuses, will receive approximately 55 million euros from the south of Germany.

Tbh i think the key is how we use the full-backs. If they overlap early and cross with intent, we can turn set-ups into real chances. If they stay passive again, it will feel mid all game. 🤡📈
"PSV Inside" mentions the same strengths, but i want to see more evidence in big games. Give me clearer roles for the 8 and stop the late overlapping that leaves the half-space exposed. 👀
i dont buy the "confidence" narrative. We need more composure in the last 20 minutes, because thats where we leak points. Thats not unlucky, thats repeatable defending errors.
"build from the back" is nice, until the press is too aggressive. Then it becomes forced long balls and we lose the second phase. 💀⚽
Oof, if the article is hinting at more wing overloads, im excited. Our best moments are when the wide player pins the fullback and the inside runner attacks the channel.
That defensive line coordination is actually scary when it works...🔥 But when it doesnt, it turns into a highlight reel for the opponent.
I like the confidence in the pressing plan, but the article mentions committing numbers forward. If the midfield doesnt shift as a unit, the gaps between the lines will be punished quickly. Need smarter spacing, not just more effort.
If PSV start playing more direct in the final third, its gonna suit the wingers heavy. But i hope that doesnt come at the cost of control in midfield, otherwise teams will just hit us on the counter. 👀🔥
"PSV Inside" makes it sound like the tactics are settled, but i still think the double-pivot balance is off. When one fullback steps too early, you see the space immediately.
If PSV really want to push the press higher, they better have the midfield cover. Right now teams just turn us with one quick pass, and then its all chaos in transition.
