The experienced captain lets PSV wait for a decision about his future and his contract has now ended, so that he can get started elsewhere. De Jong has decided not to connect this week and is investigating the possibilities of taking on an adventure elsewhere. Bosz does not close his eyes to reality, but has not yet given the hope that De Jong will still start a ninth season at PSV.
What does Peter Bosz say about Luuk de Jong?

,, He did not say that he will stay, but he did not say that he is going. He doesn’t know yet. I worked great with Luuk in those two years, so I hope he stays. But if that is not the case … The club must make a decision that itself at some point. At some point the club will say: we can switch to another. Then comes that moment when you have to do that. “
Sparta and Joël Drommel are waiting for the green light Bayern Munich for Daniel Peretz
Bosz recently had contact with De Jong. ,, I spoke to him not so long ago. Then he says the same as what he says to the club. His contract has ended, so he can go wherever he wants. He is completely in his right. There is nothing strange either. The only thing is that he doesn’t have a new club yet. But Ollie (Olivier Boscagli, ed.) Also does not yet have that either. “
Peter Bosz offers Luuk de Jong the opportunity to train with
The PSV trainer hopes that there will be clarity soon. ,, Of course it should not take too long. Unfortunately, the ideal world no longer exists in modern football. I say that every year. As a trainer you prefer that you can immediately start with all players on the first training. But that is no longer the case. Because of the international matches that have been played, there is still a window that is still open. Until that time a lot can happen. I have offered Luuk to keep his condition up to date. Everyone supported a player who has meant so much for the club to offer that opportunity. But also a bit out of own interest. Because suppose he decides to stay here in two weeks, then it is nice if he has two weeks of training at that age. Of course he will train for himself, but that is different from when you train in the group. If he connects, he will be returned to the group in phases. “
PSV gets dispensation and sets Stijn Schaars at Jong PSV
The other striker in the selection, Ricardo Pepi, is back on the way after an operative intervention on his knee, so that he missed most of the second half of the season. ,, He has been there everything together for six months. I’m glad he is on the field at all. The intention is that he will play the first game of the season and we will take him there. That is why we put him on the side at the party game today and not yet in the middle with turning, turning and turning. He goes back to the group completely, but that happens in phases. The intention is that he will soon be full match fit again. Such a process must be monitored every day. Is he on schedule? Or if there is a trace of moisture in the knee, then he has to go out of a certain jumping load for two days. That is checked per day. ”
When asked if Pepi is the intended first striker, Bosz replied: ,, That also has to do with whether Luuk is still returning. And that also has to do with who we are going to get when Luuk leaves. A striker is added anyway. Pepi has undergone such a development for the past two years that it will be a natural process if he starts playing more than he has done in the first two years. ”
When Ricardo Pepi becomes the first striker, it has major consequences for PSV
If Pepi becomes the first striker, it has major consequences for the playing method Bosz realizes. ,, With Pepi in the rush you have to play differently than when you play with Luuk. You could see that at the training. That exercise with a tour is actually a template on how you attack. You do that differently with Pepi than when Luuk stands there. Now you play more the stabs. We are still going to attack and put high pressure, but you will change in detail. ”
A departure from De Jong also has an impact on the hierarchy, Bosz realizes. Although in that respect he is happy with the stay of Ivan Perisic. ,, He had a great impact with us. Not only because he has played and scored a lot, but also how he experiences the profession and how he takes other boys into it. They take that from him rather than mine. He has been great in that. I wasn’t worried about it during my vacation, because you are not in control. If Flick had struck, we would have lost it. But I am very happy that he has stayed. He is a player with leadership qualities. Luuk was my absolute leader. I discussed a lot with him. I often called him in the office. Then we went through some things. Whether he played or not. Also in the dressing room he was the one who always took the lead. Together we will have to absorb that. That is why I am very happy with a player like Nick Olij, because that is also a boy who has an opinion that happens clearly. ”
