Joey Veerman transfers to Borussia Dortmund

Overview

In mid-August 2026, Borussia Dortmund finalized the transfer of Joey Veerman from PSV Eindhoven. The German club triggered a release clause in the 27-year-old midfielder’s contract, with reports valuing the deal between €20 million and €25 million.

Veerman, who recorded 31 goals and 67 assists during his four years at PSV, completed a medical in Dortmund on Monday. He is expected to sign a five-year contract lasting until 2031 and will likely wear the number 25 jersey. The move fulfills manager Niko Kovac’s search for an experienced playmaker to complement Dortmund’s recent summer acquisitions, such as Giannis Konstantelias, Joane Gadou, Konstantinos Karetsas, and Kaua Prates.

On August 17, the signing was officially confirmed. Reports specified the transfer fee was estimated between €21.5 million and €22 million. Sport director Lars Ricken stated the signing is part of a strategic effort to strengthen the central midfield following the departures of Pascal Groß and Salih Özcan, as well as a planned tactical shift for Emre Can into central defense.

By early September, Veerman began demonstrating his impact on the pitch. Following a 3-2 comeback victory against TSG Hoffenheim, Hoffenheim coach Niko Kovac noted that Veerman helped ‘normalize’ the game for Dortmund after they had struggled with ball possession.

On September 15, Veerman discussed his successful start, noting he specifically sought a major club competing in the Champions League, which led him to reject offers from the Premier League and the Turkish league. He highlighted the atmosphere at Signal Iduna Park and expressed a desire to help close the gap with FC Bayern Munich. Despite competition from players like Felix Nmecha, Veerman has secured regular playing time under Kovac.
