Goals & highlights from Eindhoven professional Yorbe Vertessen
Update January 28th, 2:16 p.m.: Loud “Eindhoven’s Dagblad“The change is now imminent. Vertessen is expected to undergo a medical check at Union Berlin shortly, where he will sign a contract until 2028 on Monday and will cost around 5 million euros. The “Iron” have only spent more on a new addition five times in their history.
The Köpenickers had reportedly recently offered 4 million euros for the striker, who is supposed to close the gap in the offensive created by the departures of David Datro Fofana and Sheraldo Becker alongside new signing Chris Bedia (to Union’s transfer overview). The expectations of the Dutch, to whom the right foot is bound until 2025, are said to be 5 million euros. The 23-year-old professional had four scorers in 16 league games during the current season, but was only in coach Peter Bosz’s starting line-up three times and did not go beyond the role of the noble joker.

Not enough for the PSV home-grown team from Belgium, who are also vaguely looking at a possible nomination for the national team trained by Domenico Tedesco and a participation in the 2024 European Championship. As early as January 2023, Vertessen looked for more match practice in his home country of Belgium at Union Saint-Gilloise, where he was directly involved in seven goals in 20 games. Noa Lang and Hirving Lozano have the lead on left wing in Eindhoven, and Malik Tillman, who is actually based in the headquarters, was recently given preference there.
According to the report, Union wants to take advantage of the change in opinion on the PSV management floor as quickly as possible and finalize Vertessen’s transfer during the week so that the player could be eligible to play in the relegation duel against Darmstadt 98 next weekend.
