PSV Eindhoven continues to wait for a decision on Jeremie Frimpong Geertruida's transfer. The RB Leipzig defender has been linked with a move to Philips Stadion for weeks, but negotiations are proving difficult. The German club demands €18 million and refuses a loan deal, further complicating the transfer.
What is the current situation?
The 25-year-old Geertruida has already reached a personal agreement with PSV, but the Eindhoven club must still pay a hefty sum to secure the defender permanently. RB Leipzig has a top contract with the player, forcing PSV to dig deep into its pockets. The German club is in no hurry and will only make a final decision in mid-August.
Why is this important for PSV?
PSV Eindhoven, which won the Eredivisie last season with a 19-point lead (74 points, 24W-2D-4L), needs defensive reinforcement. With Jerdy Schouten currently sidelined, Geertruida could be an immediate boost. However, the club does not want to overspend and had hoped for a loan deal, but Leipzig is not open to this.
What happens next?
According to Eindhovens Dagblad, Feyenoord is also interested in Geertruida, but the Rotterdam club is struggling with the high costs. Meanwhile, PSV continues to wait for Leipzig's decision. The club hopes the defender can join the squad before the start of the new season (home against Twente on February 14, 2027).
