A lucrative sell-on clause for the Liverpool star anchors a frantic deadline week as the Dutch champions finalize moves for emerging talents Santos, Ouaissa, and Lammers.
PSV could receive a significant financial boost if Cody Gakpo completes his proposed move from Liverpool to Manchester City, while the Eindhoven club is also closing in on several late-window signings.
As reported by PSV Watcher Rik Elfrink of Eindhovens Dagblad, PSV could receive as much as €9 million if former academy star Cody Gakpo completes his move to Manchester City, according to reliable sources close to the situation.
The potential windfall would consist of training compensation and a bonus agreed upon when Gakpo left PSV for Liverpool in 2022. However, the Dutch champions are not yet counting on the money, with the transfer to Manchester City still needing to be completed.
The possible Gakpo payout comes at a decisive moment for PSV, who are working on a busy final stretch of the summer transfer window.
PSV Close In On Santos
While PSV secured a commanding 6-1 victory over FC Utrecht at De Galgenwaard on Sunday, attention behind the scenes remained firmly on the transfer market.
Director of Football Affairs Earnest Stewart was present in the stands as PSV continued discussions over both incoming and outgoing deals.
The club had already reached an agreement with NEC for Sami Ouaissa shortly before the Utrecht match. The 21-year-old is expected to undergo his medical examination with PSV partner TopSupport on Monday before signing a five-year contract.
PSV have also reached an agreement in principle with Sparta for Ayoni Santos, meaning the midfielder's move to Eindhoven is now close to completion.
Lammers And Bro Hansen Still In Focus
PSV are not stopping there.
The Eindhoven club is continuing to work on a deal for Sam Lammers, who was again absent from FC Twente's squad. Lammers was unavailable last week due to fitness concerns and did not feature again, while PSV continued trying to complete his transfer.
The deadline is approaching quickly, with PSV needing to finalise the deal by Wednesday evening.
Another long-running target remains Mikkel Bro Hansen of Bodø/Glimt. PSV have been working on the Danish striker's potential arrival for months and remain well positioned to complete the move.
The proposed arrival of Isak Bjerkebo from Swedish club Sirius, meanwhile, is no longer on the agenda. PSV's attention is now concentrated on players such as Ouaissa and Santos, while further movement is also expected in the squad.

Joël van den Berg is expected to leave PSV for Celtic, while Sol Sidibé could also depart.
The potential exits would help reshape the squad as PSV prepare for a demanding season that includes Champions League football.
And there could still be another twist.
PSV remain open to bringing in a high-level player if the right opportunity presents itself. Whether such a deal is financially viable remains uncertain, but the club's transfer plans are still evolving.
With the deadline approaching, the next few days could therefore prove decisive for PSV.
The Gakpo windfall would provide an additional financial boost if the Manchester City transfer goes through, while Stewart and the PSV hierarchy continue working on what could be a very busy conclusion to the window.
