PSV Eindhoven has today officially confirmed that Joey Veerman is moving to Borussia Dortmund, with a transfer fee of €21.5 million and a five‑year contract. The medical exam is scheduled for tomorrow, making the deal now final.
What happened?
The club reached an agreement with the German powerhouse, with Veerman, who has already scored four goals and conceded three this season (+1 difference), leaving the Eredivisie. The transfer is one of the most expensive of the season for PSV, which now must cope with the loss of a key player.
Why does this matter for PSV Eindhoven?
With Veerman gone, PSV must reshuffle its midfield. Currently they sit 3rd in the Eredivisie, with four points from two games (1W‑1D‑0L) and a recent form of WD. The club is two points behind leaders AZ Alkmaar and must keep fighting for the title. Additionally, Alassane Pléa and Jerdy Schouten are currently sidelined, increasing pressure on the remaining squad.
Who will fill the gap?
R. van Bommel, the season’s top scorer with one goal in two appearances, now has more responsibility. The coach will likely give a chance to young academy talent, while the transfer market is being watched for possible replacements.
What comes next?
PSV’s next fixture is at home against Twente on 14 February 2027, with Twente sitting 13th in the table. This clash offers a chance to grab points and narrow the gap with AZ. Fans can follow Veerman’s medical tomorrow, after which the official signing is expected.
With Veerman’s transfer, PSV continues to adapt in a competitive Eredivisie where every point counts in the title race.
