A transfer scenario was in place this summer for Joey Veerman to move from PSV to Brentford, which would have been followed by Stroeykens joining PSV. The deal was not completed as PSV coach Peter Bosz stopped the transfer, deciding that Veerman would stay.

PSV had identified Mario Stroeykens as a priority target in the event of Joey Veerman's departure. Stroeykens was hoping for a transfer to the club in the last days of the transfer window, but the move did not materialise as PSV signed Paul Wanner instead. PSV might return for the player in January if Veerman leaves then.

Mario Stroeykens had hoped for a transfer to PSV during the final days of the transfer window. The club had previously shown interest and had prioritised the player as a replacement in case Joey Veerman left. However, PSV signed Paul Wanner from Bayern Munich instead. While PSV was still interested in Stroeykens, they did not proceed with a transfer at that time.

PSV has renewed interest in Mario Stroeykens, who was previously on their B-list. The interest is driven by the potential departure of Joey Veerman to Brentford for over 30 million euros. Despite Stroeykens' lack of recent impressive performances and limited playing time, PSV sees him as an opportunity due to the approaching transfer deadline. Anderlecht was previously valuing him at 20 million euros, but due to injuries and an expiring contract, they are now willing to consider offers as low as 6 to 10 million euros.
