Johan Bakayoko is in his last months in the PSV shirt, concludes journalist Jeroen Kapteijns in an analysis of the Eindhoven leader on behalf of The Telegraph. The morning newspaper expects that offers of 40 to 50 million euros will be enough next summer to lure the twenty-year-old winger to the Philips Stadium.

According to Kapteijns, the question is whether Bakayoko can be kept in Eindhoven any longer. “If there are offers of 40 to 50 million euros, a transfer will be difficult for PSV to refuse and Bakayoko will become the next PSV winger to move to a major competition, after Donyell Malen, Cody Gakpo and Noni Madueke.” Bakayoko is still with PSV until mid-2026.

Kapteijns also expects that foreign clubs will knock on the door for Olivier Boscagli, Jerdy Schouten and Joey Veerman. It becomes especially difficult to keep the first-mentioned name on board. “After all, Boscagli's contract only runs for one year and the Monegasque has been active in Eindhoven for five years.” According to Transfer market 26-year-old Boscagli is currently worth 27 million euros.

“If a contract extension cannot be concluded with him, a sale this summer is the obvious choice to prevent him from leaving on a free transfer next year,” said Kapteijns, who expects that PSV will initially do everything possible to sign Veerman. retain. The journalist expects that a summer transfer of Schouten is 'non-negotiable'.

The Telegraph also expects technical director Earnest Stewart to enter the transfer market in search of a defender. “Attempts by PSV to strengthen themselves with Davinson Sanchez, Thomas Beelen and Zeno Debast came to nothing last year and last winter the arrival of Jeremiah St. Juste and Ryan Flamingo proved to be unfeasible.”

According to Kapteijns, St. Juste and Flamingo are 'interesting candidates' for next summer. He also mentions a number of previously heard targets that are still in the picture at PSV. “The transfer-free Etienne Vaessen from RKC Waalwijk is a candidate to bring the goalkeeper roster up to standard.”

In the vanguard, the same names that have already been mentioned in recent days are discussed: Couhaib Driouech and Osame Sahraoui. “And so it promises to be another interesting transfer period for PSV,” Kapteijns concludes his transfer update.
