Feyenoord is interested in Nick Viergever, reports RTV Rijnmond Thursday night. The defender, 32, would be allowed to leave PSV on a free transfer despite an ongoing contract. After Ronald Koeman and Ruud Geels, Viergever can become the third player ever to have played for Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord. Feyenoord also wants to present a new, foreign wing attacker in the final week of the transfer market. Rik Elfrink from the Eindhovens Dagblad adds that PSV will indeed ask for a transfer fee for Viergever.
Viergever was taken over by PSV in 2018 transfer-free from Ajax. Viergever did not miss a competition that first season and also played almost everything in the following year 2019/20. Since the arrival of Roger Schmidt, however, the routine has had to make do with a supporting role, because the German usually chooses Olivier Boscagli. Since this season, Armando Obispo has also been above Viergever in the pecking order at PSV. The latter is on 104 official matches for the Eindhoven team, in which he scored 3 times and provided 1 assist.
Feyenoord saw three center defenders leave on a free transfer this summer with Eric Botteghin, Uros Spajic and Sven van Beek. The Rotterdammers brought in a partner for Marcos Senesi with Gernot Trauner, who came over from LASK for one million euros. Viergever will be seen as a competitor for the two center defenders. With Ramon Hendriks, Feyenoord has another young defender in the center back. Lutsharel Geertruida, who is on his way back from injury, could also play there.
