International transfer journalist points to Atlético, Arsenal and Dortmund: “PSV is asking for €40 million”
1 min readPSV seems to have gold in its hands with Yarek Gasiorowski. The 21-year-old central defender, according to the latest reports from England and Spain, can count on interest from several European top clubs after an excellent first season in Eindhoven. Gasiorowski is reportedly high on the list of, among others, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Atlético Madrid. PSV, according to rumors from abroad, does not seem to be willing to agree to a move without a fight and would demand a fee of 35 to 40 million euros.
Gasiorowski arrived last summer at the Philips Stadium to provide PSV’s back line with a quality injection. The Eindhoven club signed the Spanish youth international at the time for around €9.5 million from Valencia. According to FootballTransfers’ algorithm, this amount is far beyond what Gasiorowski is worth, as his current Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) is currently €14.3 million. This is also due to his performances in the 36 matches he played for PSV, in which he contributed 3 goals and 2 assists.
Various clubs hope to release Yarek Gasiorowski from his current contract with PSV in the short term, where he is still tied down until mid-2030. Arsenal would be very charmed by the qualities and potential of the left-footed stopper and would now be considering a transfer fee of €25 million plus bonuses to persuade PSV. Atlético Madrid is also reportedly in the running for Gasiorowski, for whom the Spanish top club according to the latest rumours has a fee of €23 million. In addition, Borussia Dortmund and Brentford would also be keeping a close watch.
PSV is not willing to cooperate on a transfer of Gasiorowski without more ado, according to reports from England and Spain. The young stopper would be well suited under coach Peter Bosz, who sees him as 'irreplaceable' and a key part of the plans for next season. Even the management at PSV believes that the transfer value of Gasiorowski could rise toward 50 million euros, and given his contract situation at the Philips Stadium, PSV’s negotiating position is strong. Earnest Stewart can therefore ask for the top price, with figures of 35 to 40 million euros being mentioned. However, among the interested parties there would be a year’s salary of 4 to 6 million euros ready to convince Gasiorowski to leave PSV.
Yarek Gasiorowski has had a decent season at PSV, but he is not an outright standout in his position in the Eredivisie. With his Skill of 60.7, he also does not seem to be able to claim much playing time right away if he chooses to transfer to Arsenal or Atlético Madrid. At the latter club, for example, Dávid Hancko has a higher Skill. With his Potential of 75.5, however, Gasiorowski is definitely an interesting option for the future. The only question is whether interested clubs will be persuaded by this with the supposed asking price from PSV.

Big shout to the article for mentioning how important the wing spacing is. When the wide players stay high and wide, the whole team moves better.
I get the optimism, but I'm not convinced the attack is consistent enough yet. One good game is nice, but PSV need to do it week in, week out, especially against teams that sit deep.
Great shout about the fullbacks. When they jump into the half-spaces early, it makes everything faster, and the build-up just looks cleaner.
The midfield balance is still my worry. When PSV go a bit too narrow, you can see space open on the flanks and that is where big teams punish you.
I actually liked the way the article frames PSV's pressing, it feels more organized lately. If they keep winning the second ball like they did, the chances will keep coming.
Neutral take: the tactics sound good on paper, but I want to see consistency for 90 minutes. PSV sometimes fades after the goal.
That quote about taking risks in the final third is exactly what PSV fans want. The way they can switch play quickly is the real weapon.
Might be harsh but I do not love how predictable the buildup gets if the first pass is late. You can feel opponents start waiting for it.
If the idea is to build from the back, we need better composure under pressure. When that first press breaks, PSV can look a bit exposed.
I actually like the way PSV looked set up in the article. The pressing triggers sounded spot on, especially when they pinned the fullbacks.
