Dortmund’s €2 million gamble on Veerman fuels Netherlands hopes

Borussia Dortmund have completed the signing of Dutch playmaker Joey Veerman, adding creativity to a squad that will compete in the Champions League and chase the Bundesliga title, while the €2 million fee reported to PSV aims to replace the creative void left by his Eredivisie departure, and Oranje’ fans hope his national team future remains bright.

Financial terms and early links

Bij De Oranjezomer, Noa Vahle explained that roughly €2 million will be transferred to PSV as part of the deal.

Vahle added that Veerman could have moved to Fenerbahçe last year and was also linked with Brentford before the Dortmund transfer materialised.

He said everyone watching the Eredivisie deserves the player’s next step.

Vahle warned that Veerman will face intense competition in Germany.

He noted that the midfielder will play Champions League football and compete for the German championship with a fantastic team and stadium.

Vahle also praised Veerman’s personality, saying he is “incredibly nice in interviews and always says what he means.”

Bas Nijhuis said he personally regrets Veerman’s departure from the Netherlands.

Nijhuis described Veerman as “a very nice guy, you can always have a conversation with him and he is super relaxed.”

National team prospects

The arbiter hopes Xavi will give Veerman a call to re‑enter Oranje.

He stated, “You deserve this step and I hope he comes back to the Dutch national team.”

Ook Kenneth Perez, speaking , predicted that Veerman could quickly become a regular in the Oranje setup.

Perez said, “It will be great to follow him… I hope that works, then he will be a thousand percent in view of the Dutch national team.”

He also mentioned that the Dortmund move could bring PSV roughly €22 million.

Both Vahle and Perez highlighted that Xavi’s preference for players of Veerman’s type could accelerate his return to the national side.

The transfer therefore not only strengthens Dortmund but also keeps the Netherlands’ creative options open for future international competitions.
