PSV expects a noisy transfer summer in which various players will be said goodbye. The most important of these are Donyell Malen, Denzel Dumfries and Mohamed Ihattaren, writes Football International. In addition, as is known, PSV is engaged in a capital injection of at least fifty million euros, so that Eindhoven residents can also make direct purchases without selling.
Due to the pandemic and the lost turnover as a result, PSV is heading for a net loss of 25 million euros. The people of Eindhoven want to brush that away with the sale of Malen, Dumfries and Ihattaren, the players who represent the most value. Timo Baumgartl, Erick Gutiérrez and Joël Piroe can also look forward to a new employer, while Adrian Fein, hired from Bayern Munich, returns to Germany. In addition, the rented players Ritsu Doan (Arminia Bielefeld), Bruma (Olympiacos) and Derrick Luckassen (Kasimpasa) are nominated to be sold.
PSV expects that the partner fund to be set up will generate thirty to forty million euros in cash. In addition, the people of Eindhoven are taking a mortgage of twenty million euros on the Philips Stadium, which improves the club’s liquidity enormously in one fell swoop. It offers PSV the opportunity to act proactively on the transfer market, Toon Gerbrands explains Football International. “It is important that we increase our decisiveness,” said the club’s general manager.
“The plans that came out last week will help us with that,” says Gerbrands. “In the past it was too often the case that we first had to sell players before we could buy. As a result, we sometimes missed a good footballer. The transfer pot must remain filled, so that John de Jong can act quickly. That is possible with players for the first time. team, but also by giving youth players contracts earlier. Our academy is an important part of our business operations. “
“If we can get more young footballers faster and more and then develop them well, then that will save us money. If we can sell one or more of those players well, those investments will soon pay for themselves. But you have to give them back. First, it can also be very good in an experienced player such as Andrés Guardado. He will not yield us much more when selling, but such footballers ensure that we end up in the Champions League earlier “, Gerbrands concludes. .
