Ivan Perisic Set to Sign Two-Year Extension with PSV Eindhoven

PERISIC AGREES DEAL TO STAY AT PSV

Croatian winger Ivan Perisic is on the verge of signing a new two-year contract with PSV Eindhoven, keeping him at the Dutch champions until 2027 after a standout season that saw interest from European giants such as Barcelona.

Perisic has accepted PSV‘s terms for a new deal, with only minor details left before the agreement is finalized. The 36-year-old joined PSV in September 2024 on a one-year deal and quickly became a key figure, contributing nine goals in 27 Eredivisie matches and playing a major role in PSV’s capture of the 2024-25 Eredivisie title. His consistently strong performances, totaling 16 goals and 11 assists across 39 games in all competitions, convinced the club to prioritize his extension despite reported interest from Barcelona, where coach Hansi Flick was keen on a reunion with the winger he previously coached at Bayern Munich.

PSV’S AMBITIONS BOLSTERED BY VETERAN’S COMMITMENT

The new deal will provide PSV with the experience and versatility needed for domestic and European competition next season. Perisic’s signing comes after reported failed negotiations with Marseille over wage demands, further underlining his satisfaction with the project in Eindhoven and his commitment to the team’s ambitions. PSV finished the 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign as champions, edging out Feyenoord by just two points. Perisic’s leadership and on-field contributions were crucial, helping PSV secure direct qualification for the Champions League group stage.

FOCUS TURNS TO NEXT SEASON AND UPCOMING FIXTURES

Looking ahead, PSV will open their 2025-26 Eredivisie campaign in 6 weeks and are expected to challenge for the title. Perisic will likely continue as a key part of their attack, aiming to help PSV defend their Eredivisie crown and make an impact in the Champions League. The club’s management is optimistic that his renewal will stabilize the squad as they face tough domestic and European challenges, starting just four weeks from now. Meanwhile, Barcelona, who won La Liga last season, are now redirecting their transfer focus elsewhere.
