Joey Veerman Transfer from PSV to Brentford
Joey Veerman, who had previously been linked to Brentford, will remain at PSV at least until the summer, according to Voetbalprimeur.nl.
Martijn Krabbendam states that Brentford FC would again approach PSV for Joey Veerman, saying he heard that Brentford wanted to renew their interest in the player.
According to Fanatik, Brentford remains a serious suitor for Joey Veerman, and their interest is continuing in the current winter transfer window. The report also states that PSV has responded to Fenerbahce and Brentford, communicating that there is no need for negotiation. PSV's stance is that any club that pays the 23 million Euro release clause can transfer Veerman. The release clause in the player's contract is set to become active on January 1, 2026.
Brentford made a bid of 27 million euros to PSV for Joey Veerman, and the player himself was open to the move to England. The proposal came too late for technical director Earnest Stewart, as the Eindhoven club did not want to cooperate with a departure. Agreements had been made about a limited sum within a certain period, up to two weeks before the close of the market. Brentford's bid came too late, so Veerman knew PSV could block a departure. After several transfer disappointments, Veerman hopes to leave at some point. According to Voetbal International, there is a chance Brentford will approach PSV again for Veerman this winter.
Joey Veerman has reached an agreement with Brentford on personal terms, according to sources in England. However, PSV has rejected Brentford's bid, which was approaching 30 million euros, and refuses to negotiate further at this moment. The late timing of Brentford's bid poses problems for PSV, as finding a replacement so late in the transfer window is challenging. Moreover, PSV has no immediate financial need to sell. Veerman is contracted with PSV until mid-2028.
Brentford has submitted a 30 million euro bid for Joey Veerman, the 26-year-old Dutch central midfielder. The transfer fee has the potential to increase by several million euros through bonuses. Earlier in the summer, Brentford had already expressed interest in Veerman, who might join players like former PSV target Sepp van den Berg, Antoni Milambo, and former Ajax player Jordan Henderson in England. Last year, following a successful season, Veerman was hopeful for a move to a bigger club, but no concrete opportunities materialized at that time. It remains uncertain whether PSV is willing to agree to a transfer so late in the window, as this decision may hinge on the availability of alternatives such as Gustavo Hamer from Sheffield United and Mario Stroeykens from Anderlecht. Veerman is under contract with PSV until 2028, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €25 million.
