CM exclusive: PSV director on Strootman & Pieters
PSV Eindhoven are under attack: the Dutch club has a busy job clearing all the rumours linking their players to foreign teams. Sporting Director Marcel Brandts confirmed directly to CM.com that PSV will not sell Kevin Strootman and Erik Pieters.
Strootman has been linked to Inter and Liverpool but Brandts doesn’t where these rumours are coming from: “I don’t know anything about it and I can’t see how a player who just recently signed a 5-year contract with us would be on the market so soon”. “I can also confirm that no one has contacted us directly for Kevin,” he added.
Pieters instead has just been one of the many players linked to Juventus in recent weeks. Reports suggested he could have moved to Turin in January, but Brandts denied that too.
“There is absolutely no way we would do that. At the moment, our target is to win the title so we are not interested on offers for our best players,” concluded the PSV director.
