Technical director Earnest Stewart plans to thoroughly sweep the PSV selection this summer. According to it Eindhovens Dagblad is there a real chance that a team of players will leave Eindhoven. Jordan Teze, among others, may leave with a good offer, while it does not seem feasible that Thorgan Hazard will play again on a rental basis at the Philips Stadium next season.
“We will continue to select”, said technical director Stewart before the cup final won by PSV ESPN. Ruud van Nistelrooij seems to be able to prepare for his second season as trainer of the Eindhoven team. Joël Drommel and fourth goalkeeper Kjell Peersman are facing a departure from the keepers. Drommel, who played a heroic role in the cup final, may leave on a rental basis, although sale is more likely. Peersman has to take into account a loan.
A lot of changes are expected in the defense. The permanent recruitment of Jarrad Branthwaite currently seems ‘simply impossible’. Talks between PSV and Everton about the twenty-year-old mandekker have so far failed. “Phillipp Mwene, Jordan Teze and André Ramalho are probably all allowed to leave with an interesting bid,” writes journalist Rik Elfrink. “The same goes for mercenary Timo Baumgartl.” Frederik Oppegard, who is currently rented out to Go Ahead Eagles, also reportedly has no future in Eindhoven.
In midfield, PSV is taking into account the departure of both Ibrahim Sangaré and Érick Gutiérrez. With Ismael Saibari, the club wants to continue for the time being. PSV has the feeling that there is still enough potential in the Moroccan youth international. In the attack, a longer stay of Hazard, given his salary, seems unfeasible. The Belgian is rented from Borussia Dortmund until the end of the season.
There is still a question mark behind the name of Fábio Silva. The permanent inclusion of the Portuguese mercenary is not possible, as Wolverhampton Wanderers does not wish to cooperate. Silva himself would like to stay with PSV for another year through rent. Finally, continuing with the Brazilian mercenary Sávio is also not a foregone conclusion.
