Thomas Beelen seemed to opt for a transfer to PSV for a long time, but at the last minute he decided to make a transfer to De Kuip. It is a major setback for the people of Eindhoven, although Peter Bosz can easily put the situation into perspective.
Transferzomer PSV
“It’s a pity he doesn’t choose us, but sometimes a transfer doesn’t work out,” he says Eindhovens Dagblad. “I expect more from us, but I cannot predict the time. Sometimes players are even added during the Eredivisie weeks. We have a wish list and if it doesn’t work out in a position, we look further.”
Riciardo Pepi was the first reinforcement of the new season this week. The center forward performed excellently last football year in the club colors of FC Groningen and wanted to leave FC Augsburg, as a result of which PSV had been negotiating with the Germans for weeks. This week the paperwork was also completed and it was possible to sign.
Hope for Xavi Simons
Bosz is reassured that the transfer has finally been completed. With Luuk de Jong he has an excellent striker in his selection, but given the age of the Dutchman, an injury is lurking. At the same time, he wants to have two different strikers, so that he can make tactical choices. Noa Lang has to provide supply from the sides.
It will be exciting for the coach whether Xavi Simons, who excelled last season, will stay. “We obviously want to keep him. It is clear that the boy is being pulled a lot because he is a good football player. He now starts with us first. Xavi simply has a contract and that is also very logical.”
Will Xavi stay with PSV for another year?
Yes, I expect so No, I don’t think so
