PSV is nevertheless prepared to cooperate in the winter departure of Yorbe Vertessen, according to reports Football International and the Eindhovens Dagblad. The Belgian attacker initially seemed not to be allowed to leave, but 1. FC Union Berlin has reported again in Eindhoven.

Not so long ago, trainer Peter Bosz said that as far as he was concerned, Vertessen's departure was out of the question. The attacker still had to become of great value this season and reinforced those words by scoring beautifully in the cup against FC Twente (3-1 win).

However, Bosz has two wingers, Noa Lang and Hirving Lozano, who have returned from the infirmary, making Vertessen's departure suddenly open to discussion. Under certain conditions, the club wants to think about a departure, it sounds.

Union is not prepared to offer much more than the previously mentioned five million euros, sources report. Vertessen has often hinted that he would like to make a move, as he is not a permanent fixture under Bosz.

“I talked to him about it and I said that he cannot leave. End of discussion, done,” Bosz said recently during the press conference. “But I don't make offers. That's up to the club. That's what Earnest (Stewart, ed.) and Marcel (Brands, ed.) are about.”

Rik Elfrink writes on its behalf ED that there is discussion about when Vertessen may have to leave. PSV will play Feyenoord in De Kuip in the eighth final of the TOTO KNVB Cup on Wednesday evening.

The chance that Vertessen will close the door of the Philips Stadium after fourteen years seems to be becoming increasingly real due to the new developments. The Belgian joined the youth academy of the Eindhoven club in 2009 and has since only made a loan trip to Union Sint-Gillis.
