Officially confirmed: BVB snap up PSV star Veerman | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund have officially wrapped up their next transfer of the summer. Joey Veerman is joining the Black and Yellows from PSV Eindhoven.

It has now been officially confirmed what had already been indicated over the past few days. The midfielder signed his contract after successfully completing his medical.

BVB activated the release clause in the player’s contract, which was set at just over €20 million. The 27-year-old brings experience, was an important player for PSV, and has made a name for himself in the Eredivisie as well as in international competitions.

Dortmund’s decision-makers, led by Ole Book, had had the player on their list for quite some time. Most recently, time was becoming a factor because the clause in the Dutchman’s contract was close to expiring. That was also why Veerman had more or less publicly put himself in the conversation for a move to BVB.

This transfer now gives Dortmund another option in midfield and adds another player who is secure in possession.

Borussia Dortmund sporting managing director Lars Ricken explains: “Joey is a player who will help us enormously with his abilities. This summer, we deliberately placed a focus of our transfer activity on central midfield, because since the start of the year we have let two players go from that area, Pascal Groß and Salih Özcan — and with Emre Can, once he returns to the squad, we are planning for him in central defense.”

Sporting director Ole Book emphasizes: “Joey is a really excellent footballer who has a great deal of creativity, technique, and vision. At PSV Eindhoven and with the Dutch national team, he has shown that he can consistently deliver strong performances at the highest level. We are delighted that he will bring his qualities to our game in the future.”
