PSVโs Joey Veerman is being monitored by Brentford, according to Rik Elfrink for the Eindhovens Dagblad. The Premier League club are currently considering whether to approach PSV or the midfielderโs management.
The Eindhoven club arenโt necessarily โlooking forward to sellingโ Veerman, Elfrink says. Therefore, Brentford would have to fork out โฌ30 million for the player, whose contract runs until the summer of 2028.
Veerman is considered a key player in the current squad. Brentford, who also strengthened their squad earlier this summer with the signing of Antoni Milambo from Feyenoord, are reportedly not fazed by PSVโs asking price.
The Premier League club, who finished 10th last season, are now assessing the next step. They will either submit an initial offer to PSV or approach Veermanโs entourage first, according to sources in England.
Whether Veerman is open to a move to England himself remains unclear. Itโs known that he was eager to make a move last year, but clubs made no approaches to secure him after a disappointing European Championship.
Fiorentina, in addition to Brentford, are also reportedly keeping an eye on Veerman. However, according to Elfrink, there hasnโt been a โhigh bidโ yet.
PSV will prefer to keep Veerman. Theyโve already cashed in on the sales of Johan Bakayoko, Malik Tillman, and Noa Lang. Should negotiations improve, PSV will look for a replacement. Gustavo Hamer (Sheffield United) is high on their list.
