PSV is facing a difficult economic situation that forces them to consider the sale of Jerdy Schouten, their talented midfielder, in the upcoming summer transfer market, as informed by TMW. In light of this circumstance, FC Barcelona has set its sights on the 27-year-old player, who has stood out for his performances in the Eredivisie and solid displays in Euro 2024.
Hansi Flick, current coach of Barça, sees Schouten as a key piece to strengthen the midfield rotation and provide the team with an additional boost in a position that needs more solidity.
Schouten, a midfielder on Barcelona's radar
Schouten's departure from PSV emerges as a solution for the Dutch club, which prioritizes selling key assets to balance its books. With a contract until 2028, Schouten would have approval to seek a new destination, and his projection as a box-to-box midfielder aligns perfectly with Barcelona's strategic plans. Furthermore, his ability to adapt to various midfield roles adds value that Flick deems essential to deepen the Barcelona squad.
Deco, Barça's sporting director, maintains a continuous interest in Schouten, whose market value is around 30 million euros. This deal could present an excellent opportunity for the Blaugrana, who are seeking cost-effective and quality alternatives to strengthen their squad without compromising their financial situation.
The signing of Schouten would bring freshness and balance to Barcelona's game, an urgent need to sustain a high competitive level across all competitions.
