PSV Eindhoven has set a minimum transfer fee of seven million euros for reserve striker Couhaib Driouech, while both Celta de Vigo and Genoa are showing interest. The 22‑year‑old winger, contracted until mid‑2029, wants more minutes this season and hopes for a breakthrough in the first team.

Who is Couhaib Driouech?

Driouech progressed through PSV's academy to the reserves and has stood out recently with pace and a sharp finish. He is now seen as a potential replacement for wing positions, where competition from Ruben van Bommel and Ivan Perišić is fierce. His contract runs until 2029, giving PSV a strong negotiating stance.

Why are Celta de Vigo and Genoa interested?

According to Voetbal International, Celta de Vigo has already held concrete talks about a possible takeover, while Genoa is also preparing a serious bid. Both clubs are looking for a young, dynamic attacker who can immediately contribute in their respective leagues. The Spaniards and Italians must still cross the bridge; PSV demands at least seven million euros and “possibly a few million more”.

What does this mean for PSV's season?

Holding first place in the Eredivisie with 84 points and a recent 5‑1 win over Twente (May 17 2026), PSV is firing on all cylinders. The team has already scored 101 goals and conceded 45, a +56 goal difference. A possible sale of Driouech would provide a financial boost, but it could also create a gap on the wings, where the club is already under pressure for playing time.

How does Driouech see his own future?

“My goal this season is to get many minutes, to be important,” Driouech said after the friendly against Royal Antwerp (1‑1). “It’s only good that other clubs show interest, that means I’ve had a good season. If that’s at PSV, great. If not, we’ll look elsewhere.” His statement underscores the ambition to earn a regular spot, yet he remains realistic about the possibility of a move.

What comes next?

If PSV agrees to a fee around seven million euros, the club could reinvest the money in attacking or defensive reinforcements. Conversely, if Driouech stays, he will have to battle for minutes alongside van Bommel and Perišić, sharpening internal competition. For now, the transfer market stays active, and both fans and analysts are watching developments closely.

With a recent run of four wins and one draw (WWWWD) and a 19‑point lead over Feyenoord, PSV remains on track to secure the championship. Whether Driouech becomes part of that success formula depends on the weeks ahead.
