🚨 And now a record deal: ex-Bayern star brings in his son as coach | OneFootball

Mark van Bommel has always been one who never backs down. As a player, he never shied away from any duel, and as a coach, he's not afraid to make a sixth substitution in a cup game just like that. And apparently, he's not afraid to set a transfer record for his own son either.

That's exactly what he's done now in his role as head coach of PSV Eindhoven. As the Eredivisie club announced today, van Bommel's son Ruben was signed from AZ Alkmaar. According to 'Sky', PSV is paying 15.8 million euros, which would replace Hirving Lozano, who came from Naples in 2023 for 15 million, as the record transfer.

However, with Ruben van Bommel, PSV is not getting a tenacious midfielder and destroyer like his father was as a player. The 20-year-old, who also played for Eindhoven in his youth, is a winger and is more known for his pacey dribbling and goal threat, rather than uncompromising tackles and hard-earned red cards. Last season, he scored ten goals and provided six assists in 34 games across all competitions.
