Having been heavily linked with Borussia Dortmund in recent weeks, PSV midfielder Joey Veerman has now responded to the German club’s interest.

“If it happens, that would be a great option for me. I’ve been waiting for something like that for years,” Veerman openly told ESPN

“We’ll have to wait and see what happens in the final weeks. I hope they’ll give me the opportunity, because I’ve had five very good years here. 

“I think I’ve won eight trophies, so I’ve definitely had a fantastic time here,” he added.

According to ESPN, the 27-year-old midfielder has a release clause – reportedly worth €20 million – that expires on August 21.

“They need to speed things up if they want me that badly,” he said with a laugh.
