PSV have acquired Kiliann Sildillia (23) from SC Freiburg. The right-back joins the Eindhoven club with 82 Bundesliga and 16 Europa League appearances to his name. He has signed a five-year contract until the summer of 2030.
Sildillia arrives to bolster PSV’s backline after the departures of Olivier Boscagli, Rick Karsdorp, and Tyrell Malacia. Yarek Gasiorowski has also joined from Valencia.
Sildillia, a French youth international who played five matches at the 2024 Paris Olympics, reported to PSV’s training camp in Germany on Tuesday night. He is PSV’s fifth summer signing, following the aforementioned Gasiorowski, Ruben van Bommel, Nick Olij, and Matej Kovar, while striker Alassane Pléa is well on his way to becoming their sixth.
According to sources, PSV are paying just under six million euros for the right-back, who can also play in central defence. Sildillia was born in Metz and brought up at the club; he has played in Germany since 2020. He will wear number 25 at PSV.
“For me, this is the perfect next step in my career,” the newly signed player said on the club website. “PSV has a very rich history, and I’m looking forward to competing for trophies here.”
