Joey Veerman’s Loyalty to PSV: A Testament to Principles in Football

Joey Veerman’s recent decision to remain loyal to PSV this winter is a clear testament to his dedication, according to Ronald Waterreus in his column for De Limburger. Waterreus believes that Veerman exemplifies the existence of footballers who uphold strong principles. He further argues that Veerman should definitely be considered for the Dutch national team for the 2026 World Cup.

It appeared highly likely that Veerman would transfer to Turkey this winter. However, complications with the president of Fenerbahçe ultimately thwarted this move. Waterreus described the turmoil in Veerman’s situation: ‘His life turned upside down last week: transfer to Fenerbahçe, no transfer, then yes again, and ultimately, no.’ Last week, PSV confirmed in a statement that Veerman will remain in Eindhoven until at least the end of the season.
