“This is a record transfer for PSV,” said Eindhoven sporting director Marcel Brands. So far, the most expensive player sold by the Dutch club was the Mexican Hirving Lozano, who left for Napoli in 2019 for 45 million euros.
Gakpo drew attention to himself at the championship in Qatar with excellent performances and three goals, which helped the Dutch to the quarter-finals. He had a contract with PSV until 2026.
