PSV Eyes Young Talent as Bakayoko’s Future Remains Uncertain
PSV Eindhoven prepares for a crucial clash against Feyenoord this Sunday, marking the culmination of their 2024 football season. However, a shadow of doubt hangs over the availability of key player johan Bakayoko, who is still recovering from a minor injury.
Bakayoko’s absence was felt earlier this week during PSV’s resounding 8-0 victory against HFC in the cup. While the team demonstrated their strength in depth, PSV will undoubtedly be hoping for Bakayoko’s return to bolster their attack against feyenoord.
Looking ahead, PSV is actively strengthening its squad for the future. Reports from American transfer expert Tom Bogert suggest that the club is on the verge of securing the services of Esmir Bajraktarevic, a promising 19-year-old right winger from the New England Revolution.
Bajraktarevic, a Bosnian international, impressed during his time in the MLS, contributing three goals and one assist in 31 appearances last season. PSV sees immense potential in the young talent and is reportedly prepared to invest nearly 6 million euros to secure his signature. The deal also includes a percentage of any future resale value for New England,demonstrating PSV’s confidence in Bajraktarevic’s development.
The arrival of Bajraktarevic could provide valuable competition for Bakayoko, especially with the impending departure of Hirving Lozano. The Mexican forward is set to join MLS newcomer FC San Diego in january, leaving a void in PSV’s attacking lineup. Bajraktarevic’s arrival could help fill this gap and ensure PSV maintains its offensive firepower in the coming season.
