Eindhoven officials chase a reunion with Sam Lammers while monitoring Sami Ouaissa as a tactical replacement, sparking a high-stakes race to bolster the champions’ attack before the deadline.

PSV are anticipating a busy final few days of the summer transfer window, with the club expecting one or two new arrivals in Eindhoven.

Sam Lammers remains a key target, while another attacking addition could follow if Esmir Bajraktarevic leaves.

PSV are preparing for a potentially busy conclusion to the summer transfer window, with the club strongly anticipating that one or two new players could arrive in Eindhoven over the next five days.

According to PSV watcher Rik Elfrink of Eindhovens Dagblad, Sam Lammers remains one of the players the Dutch champions are working to bring in. The club are also considering adding another forward, particularly if Esmir Bajraktarevic departs before the deadline.

PSV Refuse To Pay €3 Million For Lammers

Talks over Lammers’ return have continued in recent days, but there remains a gap between PSV and FC Twente over the transfer fee.

Twente are asking for more than €3 million for the 29-year-old striker. PSV, however, have no intention of paying that amount for the former academy player.

Lammers himself is open to a return to Eindhoven. He left PSV in 2020 for Atalanta Bergamo in a deal worth €10 million, and his representatives are now working alongside the player to help find an agreement between the two Dutch clubs.

Time is becoming an important factor, with PSV keen to strengthen their attacking options before the window closes.

Ouaissa Could Become An Option

The possible departure of Bajraktarevic could create room for another attacking signing. PSV would ideally like to sell the Bosnian winger, and should that happen, Sami Ouaissa could become a serious option.

The NEC winger is reportedly keen on a move to Eindhoven, although PSV would still need to reach an agreement with the Nijmegen club.

There could also be a bigger surprise before the window closes.

PSV remain open to bringing in a top-tier reinforcement, but whether such an opportunity presents itself depends largely on developments at clubs abroad. Several major European clubs are expected to decide during or immediately after the weekend which players can leave.

The timing is particularly important. The transfer window closes on Monday in Germany, Tuesday in England and Wednesday in the Netherlands, meaning the final days could bring significant movement.

For PSV, the immediate priority is clear: find a solution for Lammers, monitor Bajraktarevic’s situation and remain alert for an opportunity that could produce one final major addition before the deadline.
