PSV Rejects Rangers Bid for Driouech

PSV has turned down the first offer from Rangers FC for Couhaib Driouech, a 24-year-old winger who has been a key player for the Eindhoven-based club.

The Bid Falls Short

The bid from Rangers, which was reportedly worth millions, did not meet the requirements of PSV. The Scottish club had been keen to sign Driouech and had a long-term contract ready for him. However, the transfer fee of around 8 million euros, including bonuses, was not acceptable to PSV.

Driouech's Future Uncertain

Driouech has played 61 times for PSV, scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists. His market value is estimated at 7.5 million euros by Transfermarkt. The Moroccan winger has been linked with a move to Rangers for some time, and it is understood that he sees a transfer to the Scottish club as a possibility.

PSV's Stance

PSV's technical director, Earnest Stewart, is keen to secure a transfer fee of around 8 million euros for Driouech. The club bought the winger from Excelsior in 2024 for 3.5 million euros, and they are looking to make a profit on the sale.

Rangers' Interest

Rangers have been tracking Driouech for some time and had been keen to sign him. The Scottish club has a reputation for developing young players, and Driouech would be a valuable addition to their squad.

What's Next?

The rejection of the bid by PSV means that the transfer saga is far from over. Rangers may try to negotiate a deal with PSV, or they may look to sign Driouech in the future. Driouech's future at PSV is also uncertain, and it remains to be seen whether he will stay with the club or move to Rangers.

The Market Value

Driouech's market value is estimated at 7.5 million euros by Transfermarkt. This is a significant amount of money, and it is likely that PSV will be looking to secure a transfer fee of at least this amount if they are to sell the winger.

The Contract Situation

Driouech's contract with PSV still has a year and a half to run. This means that the club has a significant amount of time to negotiate a deal with Rangers or to find another buyer for the winger.

The Competition

The transfer market is highly competitive, and PSV will be looking to secure the best possible deal for Driouech. Rangers will also be keen to sign the winger, and it remains to be seen whether they will be able to negotiate a deal with PSV.
