PSV Eindhoven fail to trigger €8M option for Anass Salah-Eddine

PSV Eindhoven have decided not to trigger their €8 million club option on Anass Salah-Eddine from AS Roma, as no agreement could be reached with the player's management. The option, which was set to expire tomorrow, can no longer be exercised, according to sources close to the negotiations.

Option expires without agreement

The Dutch club had the opportunity to make the Moroccan midfielder's loan move permanent for a fee of €8 million. However, discussions with Salah-Eddine's representatives broke down, leading PSV to abandon the deal. The expiration of the option means Salah-Eddine will now return to Roma, where he is under contract until 2027.

Player's rising profile attracts interest

Salah-Eddine, 23, has attracted significant attention after a breakout season that included his Champions League debut and a call-up to Morocco's World Cup squad. Several clubs are now monitoring his situation, with the player expected to assess his options in the coming weeks. His performances in the Eredivisie and European competition have highlighted his potential as a versatile midfielder.

The failure to secure the transfer represents a setback for PSV, who had identified Salah-Eddine as a key target for the upcoming season. The club may now turn to alternative targets to strengthen their midfield.
