Veerman is gone
Joey Veerman is a Borussia Dortmund player. The midfielder passed his medical on Monday and signed a deal through 2031, worth €3m to €4m per year (1)(2). PSV bank roughly €22m from the sale (5). He won eight trophies in Eindhoven (9).
The legends back it
Willy and René van de Kerkhof are happy with the deal. They say Peter Bosz is building toward a different system and that PSV are better off without Veerman (4). Arnold Bruggink called it a fantastic transfer (7). Youri Mulder also backed the move.
Derksen expects trouble
Johan Derksen thinks PSV are relieved to see Veerman leave (9). His take is sharper: Veerman will have big problems at Dortmund (6). That is the opposite of the praise coming from the van de Kerkhof brothers.

The €22m could buy a defender
Your defence is the real worry after the 2–2 draw with Fortuna Sittard and the narrow 2–1 win at Excelsior. The Veerman money could bring Lutsharel Geertruida to Eindhoven from sc Heerenveen (5). That would plug the biggest hole in the squad.
Driouech rumours swirl
Couhaib Driouech is now linked away. Feyenoord need a winger and could spend millions at PSV before the window closes (8). Harry van der Laan has tipped Driouech as a great signing for them (3). Rangers have also shown interest in the winger.
