The Football World Cup is still in full swing and the first mega transfer is already a fact. Ismail Saibari moves from PSV to Bayern Munich for a record amount of 55 million euros. It is the harbinger of a hot transfer summer in Eindhoven. Who’s coming? And who’s going? From now on you can follow it every working day in the new podcast ‘Transfer Summer of PSV’.
Veerman, Mauro, Pepi, these are just a few players who are highly suspected of announcing their departure in the coming weeks. “Even though it is summer, these are exciting weeks in football country,” says Mark Versteden. He will be making the podcast together with Yannick Eling in the coming transfer period. They are both journalists and have been following PSV as loyal fans for years. “We are really curious about who will remain and who will join.”

In this initial week, the gentlemen are examining all lines, starting today with the goalkeepers. Is there a goalkeeper problem looming? Third goalkeeper Niek Schiks has already been loaned out, but what does second goalkeeper Nick Olij do? Will he stay? And what if the first goalkeeper Matěj Kovář plays a very good World Cup? Can he still be saved?
