PSV vs Feyenoord | Lutsharel Geertruida has a clear preference for a transfer
1 min readLutsharel Geertruida would, according to De Telegraaf, not have circled around it. The coveted defender would, in the meantime, have stated a preference regarding his near future. The defender trained by Feyenoord would have a preference for a transfer to PSV.
Those are strong words from De Telegraaf, at least if that is actually the case. It is still a matter of question whether the international from the Netherlands national team will also indeed come to PSV and the Eredivisie, because quite a bit of water will have to be added to the wine by various factions.
PSV certainly can afford Geertruida, but the question is whether the club management wants to put the requested amount on the table for the defender. De Telegraaf reveals in any case that Geertruida has a strong preference for a contract with PSV.
“The missing link in the eyes of PSV is Lutsharel Geertruida. The 21-time Oranje international is seen as the ideal solution for the back line during the absence caused by a serious knee injury to Jerdy Schouten. The plan is to loan Geertruida for one season from RB Leipzig. The player himself is open to a return to the Netherlands and is broadly in agreement with PSV. Financially, it will be a complicated operation, because more lucrative options have emerged for Leipzig. For Geertruida, those are sportingly less appealing again, which is why his preference lies with PSV", De Telegraaf said in a clear analysis of the situation.
“Apparently, detaching Geertruida requires the necessary patience as time is running out, because it is difficult to play football when the back door is left wide open", the newspaper points to the rear ranks of Peter Bosz's team.
“Sunderland appeared ready to pay twenty million euros for Geertruida, who in the winter was still close to a switch to Liverpool. However, the 21-cap international decided to wait. As a result, Geertruida returned to Germany after the World Cup. There, he found a new coach in Martín Demichelis", De Telegraaf still reports.
“Because of this, Leipzig has no intention of simply letting him go. PSV already noticed that—there is personal agreement with the player—but for the time being he cannot meet the expectations of the Germans.”
Feyenoord is still mentioned as well, but the Rotterdam club can’t dip too deeply into the purse. “A large part of the current technical staff at the Rotterdammers had already been working in the winter on a transfer to Liverpool. In addition, Geertruida broke through at De Kuip and became the captain there. Still, it is largely a hopeless mission. Leipzig is asking for eighteen to twenty million euros. For the Eindhoven side, that is already an enormous amount. For Feyenoord, it is unfeasible", sounds it.

Je kunt wel zeggen dat PSV financieel kan betalen, maar of de leiding de gevraagde som ook wil... dat is dus waar het wringt. Die huur-constructie klinkt nu het meest logisch, gezien Leipzig al "lucratievere opties" ziet. Als ze wachten en de snelheid ontbreekt dan blijft die achterdeur "wijd open" en ja, dat kan je niet riskeren. 👀
Feyenoord fans in shambles again lol. They cant match Leipzig money, and PSV already has personal agreement. Still, the Sunderland 20m and Liverpool link show he was always in demand, so this will only work if the numbers are right. 👀⚽
Eighteen to twenty million for a defender like this, thats not "one more signing", thats a statement. I like the fit, but i'm worried PSV arent willing to go the full amount if a loan falls through. And if Schouten is out longer, you cant keep the back door "wijd openstaat" like they said.
"preferred for a transfer to PSV" lijkt me lekker, maar Leipzig blijft natuurlijk Leipzig. Als ze hem alleen willen verhuren voor één seizoen, dan moet PSV slim onderhandelen, anders gaat het weer dat gevecht verliezen met het budget. Love the profile, but the price has to make sense tbh. 🔥
"De missing link in de ogen van PSV is Lutsharel Geertruida" ... bruh if he fixes that backline then ok, but i dont wanna see us pay 20m and still look shaky. Also huur van Leipzig is smart, tbh, but we must be ready for Demichelis to say no. Timing will be tight.
If Geertruida really prefers PSV, dat is huge. The "missing link" talk sounds like our board actually has a plan, especially with Schouten out. But will Leipzig let him go on loan for one season without messing around?
Als De Telegraaf dit echt meent, dan is het wel een statement: Geertruida als "missing link" voor de periode zonder Schouten. Maar jongens, 18-20 miljoen voor PSV is dan echt de vraag, willen ze dat geld leggen? Ik snap dat Bosz achter de deur met rust wil, maar we moeten ook realistisch blijven.
