Sam Lammers has introduced a switch from PSV to Atalanta. According to various media, the 23-year-old striker even has a personal agreement with Serie A. In Eindhoven, the situation was disappointed because they were convinced that he would extend his contract. After all, there was a verbal agreement and to place the signature was a formality. Former PSV player Björn van der Doelen is not happy with the striker’s actions.

Technical manager John de Jong prefers not to lose Lammers and therefore sticks to the asking price of ten million euros, while Atalanta so far does not want to go beyond a transfer fee of seven million. “It’s very ugly if you do not stick to a verbal agreement,” Van der Doelen said in an interview with Soccer International. The former midfielder thinks Lammers will be sent by his agent Reza Fazeli. “You can hardly imagine it coming from this boy. How do they end up with these kinds of agents, I wonder. That you are returning from an injury, that the club has confidence in you, but that you want to move to another club as soon as possible that can pay a better salary. Such an agent has a strong influence on this. Apparently, such an agreement is no longer worth it. If I were PSV, I would say: the murder with it. ”

The new Eredivisie season starts on Sunday for PSV with an away game against FC Groningen. Van der Doelen does not know if it will go well with coach Roger Schmidt to let Lammers play. ‘I also wonder how he walks around the club now, can he look people in the eye? How do his teammates view him now? He does not make it easy for himself with this. It really amazes me. He looks like one of the club boys his parents say: Now solve the neat boy. You also have to deal with fans, how will they react immediately when he plays? It’s not going well with the fans if you want to force a break in this way. ”

Accordingly Eindhovens Dagblad PSV Lammers will keep his contract running until mid-2021. The club can make good use of the millions offered, but believes that the striker represents a higher market value. However, because his contract expires next year, the club is in a difficult position. If Lammers is not sold this summer and he does not renew, he can leave for free next year.
