PSV Eindhoven have enquired about a loan move for Lutsharel Geertruida, according to Sky Sport’s Philipp Hinze. The Dutch champions, who finished top of the 2025 Eredivisie with 74 points (24 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses in 30 games), see the experienced defender as a potential addition to their squad.
What is the current situation?
RB Leipzig prefer a permanent transfer for Geertruida, who made 30 appearances for Sunderland last season, helping them qualify for the Europa League. The German club are reportedly seeking over €20 million for the Netherlands international. However, a loan deal remains a possibility if a permanent move proves unattainable.
Why is Geertruida an attractive option for PSV Eindhoven?
Geertruida, who previously played over 200 matches for Feyenoord Rotterdam, brings experience and versatility. His departure from Sunderland, who opted against a permanent deal, makes him a realistic target. With a +44 goal difference (84 scored, 40 conceded) last season, PSV Eindhoven are looking to add depth to their defence.
What are the next steps?
Negotiations are ongoing, and PSV Eindhoven must decide if a loan deal fits within their budget. With Jerdy Schouten currently sidelined, Geertruida could provide immediate reinforcement. PSV’s next fixture is away to NEC Nijmegen on 22 November 2026, where they aim to maintain their 19-point lead over Feyenoord.
