PSV's transfer window continues to be active, with the latest news linking Malik Tillman with a potential move. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 6 possible arrivals and 5 potential exits. The hottest storyline right now is about Lutsharel Geertruida. Below are the latest updates on the most important transfer rumours.

Couhaib Driouech

Couhaib Driouech transfer card On Friday, PSV Eindhoven confirmed that Rangers withdrew from the transfer of Couhaib Driouech because a small injury was discovered during his medical. Although personal terms had been agreed, Rangers did not want to approve the transfer as it became known they would be without the winger for a number of weeks. PSV director of football Earnest Stewart stated that PSV believed Driouech would be fit again very soon, whereas Rangers estimated a much longer period of unavailability of around six weeks. According to Stewart, a season-long loan was briefly discussed but dismissed. Earlier reports on Friday noted that Rangers had agreed a fee of around £6.5 million. However, Dutch outlet Eindhovens Dagblad claimed that fitness was not the issue for Rangers, but that the club altered their stance, with the final decision to cancel the move coming from owner Andrew Cavenagh.

Ryan Flamingo

According to Eindhovens Dagblad on Friday, PSV are willing to sell Ryan Flamingo for a fee of approximately 20 million euros. This follows an inquiry from Benfica regarding a possible signing. The 23-year-old is reportedly open to the move, but it remains uncertain whether the Portuguese club will pursue their interest further. VfL Wolfsburg has also been mentioned in connection with the player.

Malik Tillman

Bayer Leverkusen is willing to sell 24-year-old attacking midfielder Malik Tillman this summer for an 'exceptional' bid, it was reported on Friday. According to Eindhovens Dagblad, a return to PSV is 'not realistic' as the club cannot afford transfer fees of 30 to 35 million euros. Tillman has also attracted interest from West Ham United.

Joey Veerman

According to Mounir Boualin on Wednesday, Borussia Dortmund is considering making an offer for Joey Veerman. The player is reportedly already aware of the interest from the Bundesliga. Boualin claims that Dortmund has not yet made contact with PSV, which Rik Elfrink from Eindhovens Dagblad also confirms. German sources have informed Boualin that Dortmund wants to sign a winger first before possibly shifting their focus to Veerman, who can reportedly leave this summer for an agreed fee of approximately twenty million euros.

Lutsharel Geertruida

On Wednesday, it was reported that Lutsharel Geertruida, who was recently on loan at Sunderland, is expected to leave RB Leipzig, and PSV Eindhoven is interested. According to BILD, Leipzig is seeking a sale and is asking for 18 million euros, but PSV cannot afford this. PSV wants to loan the Dutch international, possibly with a purchase option, and Geertruida is open to this. A day earlier, Sky Sport reported that RB Leipzig has advised the player to look for a new employer.

Ricardo Pepi

On Thursday, the Turkish club Galatasaray showed interest in PSV's Ricardo Pepi. According to unconfirmed reports, Galatasaray was willing to offer between €25 million and €30 million for the striker, an amount that was deemed too low. Journalist Rik Elfrink stated that the Turkish club has no chance of signing Pepi, explaining that the player wants to stay at PSV for another season and the proposed fee is insufficient.

Amir Bouhamdi

Eindhovens Dagblad reported on Wednesday that PSV has offered Amir Bouhamdi a new and improved contract until the summer of 2031 and that he has agreed to the contract proposal. The contract extension must still be officially confirmed by PSV.
