PSV Eindhoven is working on six inbound and outbound transfers in the final hours of the transfer window. This is reported by VoetbalPrimeur based on information from club watcher Rik Elfrink, who writes that six deals could or must be completed. The club, currently second in the Eredivisie with ten points from four matches, aims to strengthen and trim the squad for the busy period ahead.
Which players are joining PSV?
PSV has secured two new players. Striker Sam Lammers returns to the Philips Stadion from FC Twente for a fee of 2.5 million euros. Additionally, the Eindhoven club has also signed Mikkel Bro Hansen from Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt. PSV pays a transfer fee of 3 million euros for the 23-year-old Danish midfielder. These acquisitions are intended to bolster the attacking line, especially considering the 15 goals PSV has already scored this season.
Earlier in the day, Ayoni Santos was signed from Sparta Rotterdam as a deadline day addition. The Brazilian signed a contract and will join the squad immediately. With these signings, PSV hopes to close the two-point gap to leaders AZ Alkmaar.
Which players might leave PSV?
Alongside incoming transfers, PSV is also working on the departure of several players. According to the VoetbalPrimeur report, four names are on the exit list. Defender Joël van den Berg is linked with a move to Scottish side Celtic. Essiën Bassey could depart for Norwegian club Viking FK.
Midfielder Isaac Babadi is set to join Sparta Rotterdam on a loan deal. For Esmir Bajratarevic, a transfer to Sevilla seemed to be in the works, but that deal ultimately fell through. The Bosnian will remain in Eindoven for now. Fans can follow the current squad composition on our squad page.
Why is Adamo Nagalo staying at PSV?
A notable development is the situation of defender Adamo Nagalo. The 23-year-old Burkinabe seemed headed to Turkish club Corum FK, but that transfer has collapsed. Rik Elfrink indicates that Nagalo is not fit and therefore appears 'to simply stay'. The club had previously reached an agreement on his sale, but the medical examination proved to be a stumbling block.
Nagalo was loaned to Konyaspor last season and joined PSV earlier from FC Nordsjælland. His stay means PSV has an extra option in defense, which could prove useful in the coming weeks. The next challenge is the away match against arch-rival Ajax on September 5th, a clash between the second and fourth-placed teams. The full schedule can be found on our fixtures overview.
How does this fit into the season's progression?
The transfer activities take place while PSV has made a strong start to the season. With three wins and a draw from four matches, the team is firmly in the title race. The goal difference of +10 (15 for, 5 against) underscores defensive solidity and attacking potential. The arrival of Lammers and Hansen should continue this trend.
The trimming of the squad with players like Van den Berg and Bassey creates space for the new arrivals. PSV's management is working under deadline pressure to finalize the operations.

The latest transfer developments will shape the squad for the important months ahead, starting with the classic duel in Amsterdam.
