General director Marcel Brands stated that PSV intends to make Anass Salah-Eddine's loan from AS Roma a permanent transfer after this season. Brands explained that the club had previously attempted to sign the left back from FC Twente in the winter, but he became too expensive due to interest from Roma. PSV then pursued him again in the summer, securing a loan deal on August 31. Brands added that the club was convinced of the 23-year-old and will try its best to keep him. PSV, along with technical director Earnest Stewart, holds the first option to sign Salah-Eddine for a purchase fee of approximately eight million euros. Before his move to PSV, other clubs including FC Porto, Nottingham Forest, Celtic, Lille OSC, Torino, and Werder Bremen had also shown interest in the player. The Moroccan international has made 11 appearances in the Eredivisie this season. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €12.00m.
