PSV may still have hot days to wait in the transfer market. According to Fabrizio Romano, the people of Eindhoven reached an agreement on Thursday with Internazionale about Denzel Dumfries and now seem to be interested in Lorenzo Insigne. That reports the Italian Corriere della Sera. The latest rumor is debunked by PSV watcher Rik Elfrink of the Eindhovens Dagblad, who speaks of an ‘official madhouse in the rumor mill’.
In addition to PSV, an English club would also have reported for the services of Insigne, it sounds like. The brand new European champion may leave Napoli, which is already rubbing its hands with the transfer fee. A rental period is not an option, Aurelio De Laurentiis has indicated. It is expected that Napoli hopes to collect an amount of around 25 million euros for Insigne. PSV already managed to secure the necessary millions this transfer summer with the sale of Donyell Malen to Borussia Dortmund and Pablo Rosario to OGC Nice.
As for Insigne and PSV: Contract for life. Transfer fee 24.4 million fixed and 5 million bonus. Salary 4.1 million per year. Top level.
On topic: it is possible that a line has been cast, but that is not immediately a transfer. We try to check/follow it.

A new financial injection can therefore soon be added if Dumfries is sold to Inter. According to the Eindhovens Dagblad the matter gained momentum on Wednesday evening and Dumfries has now agreed with the club from the Serie A. Fabrizio Romano reported on Thursday morning that the club also agreed. There is talk of an amount of 12.5 million euros, plus 2.5 to 3 million euros in bonuses. PSV rejected an initial offer of twelve million euros, as the people of Eindhoven wanted an amount between fifteen and twenty million.
Elfrink reacts cynically to the rumor of Insigne. “As for Insigne and PSV: Contract for life,” the journalist writes on Twitter. “Transfer sum 24.4 million fixed and 5 million bonus. Salary 4.1 million per year. Top level. It may be that a line has been thrown, but that is not immediately a transfer. We are trying to check/follow it. It is officially madness in the rumor mill. It does not matter that it is not all true or is immediately complete. The stories are sometimes good and that is also worth something. For now only real news about Dumfries at PSV. And Abed of course. ”
In addition to Dumfries, there is still movement around Noni Madueke and Mohamed Ihattaren. The latter is explicitly linked to AS Monaco, but according to Elfrink, no offer has been received for him at PSV yet. “As for Madueke: He focuses entirely on Heracles-PSV is what we hear from his camp,” writes Elfrink. The winner of the Johan Cruijff Scale is expected to say goodbye to Bruma, Derrick Luckassen, Erick Gutiérrez and Dante Rigo. There is also reportedly interest in Ritsu Doan, who had a good season on loan at Arminia Bielefeld.
