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

Malacia could leave Manchester United for Saudi Arabia
According to Voetbal International's Joost Blaauwhof, Tyrell Malacia could leave Manchester United for Saudi Arabia. The former Feyenoord and PSV left-back is considering a concrete offer from the Pro League, according to well-informed sources. Malacia spent the past six months on loan at PSV. In Eindhoven, the wing-back was intermittently part of the team that won the national championship. Despite meagre individual accolades that season, the Rotterdam native still holds a strong international profile. Several European clubs have reportedly already inquired about Malacia's status, which manager Rúben Amorim has omitted from the squad. However, on Friday, the first concrete offer came in. And it came from Saudi Arabia. It's still unclear which club wants to take on Malacia. The player is considering the offer and is in talks with the Saudi club. If Malacia accepts, a multi-million euro offer will immediately follow. Manchester United have the left-back under contract until the summer of 2026. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

AS Roma battling Leeds and Marseille for Igor Paixao
AS Roma have joined the race to sign Feyenoord winger Igor Paixao this summer (h/t journalist Gianluca Di Marzio). Marseille have agreed personal terms with the Brazilian winger on a five-year deal, but their €28 million offer has been turned down by the Eredivisie giants. Leeds United have also tabled an offer for Paixao, however the transfer race is still wide open. Roma have now entered the fray, with manager Gian Piero Gasperini prioritising a new winger to bolster the attack. The Giallorossi are confident that they can meet the Dutch club's €30m valuation following the sales of Enzo Le Fee, Leandro Paredes, Tammy Abraham and Nicola Zalewski. As Stephan El Shaarawy enters the final year of his contract, Roma are looking to bring in a long-term successor for the 32-year-old. Paixao enjoyed a prolific 2024/25 campaign, bagging 18 goals and 19 assists in all competitions. He caught wider attention with his stellar performances in the Champions League against Manchester City, Benfica and AC Milan. The Brazilian can explode and take his game to another level under Gasperini, who has groomed some of the finest talents at Atalanta. Roma are also monitoring Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Fabio Silva as a potential target. Wolves are planning to cash in on the Portuguese star, who has drawn up suitors following his impressive loan stint at Las Palmas last season. The 23-year-old's contract at Molineux Stadium runs out next summer, and he is valued at around €20 million. Roma have signed Evan Ferguson on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion, who adds to a formidable attacking line-up containing Artem Dovbyk, El Shaarawy, Paulo Dybala and Matias Soule. They have also signed Moroccan midfielder Neil El Aynaoui and are working on the deals for Flamengo full-back Wesley and Hellas Verona centre-back Daniele Ghilardi.

Rangers warned Dor Turgeman comes with a 'fairytale' transfer fee as Igamane interest surges and a mentor steps in
Rangers have been told by Maccabi Tel Aviv boss Zarko Lazetic it would take a "fairytale offer" to sign Dor Turgeman this summer. Record Sport first revealed the striker is a target for the Light Blues as Russell Martin looks to strengthen his frontline with the new era at Ibrox set to officially start with his first competitive game in Champions League qualifying against Panathinaikos. Turgeman has reportedly already made his position over an exit clear with the Scottish Premiership named as his preferred destination - but there has been little movement in recent weeks. READ MORE: Robin Propper faces Rangers exit U turn from frustrated Twente chief as Ibrox transfer issue escalates READ MORE: 49ers gifted Celtic transfer playbook and instant Rangers manoeuvre shows new rules are in effect A £5million asking price has previously been floated amid reports that a £4million offer had been tabled - but following the friendly win over Hapoel Ironi Rishon LeZion, Lazetic hinted that big money may have to be put on the table. He told Sport 1: "He is a football beast, only a fairytale offer would tempt the club to sell the player. £4million will not be enough." A deal is said to be on hold until after the Scottish Premiership side can offload either Cyriel Dessers or Hamza Igamane. Interest is rising in the Morocco international amid reports Lille are "struggling" to seal a deal with the Light Blues' standing firm on their £15million valuation. Everton and Udinese are said to be chasing a deal while Feyenoord have registered their interest. Voetbal Primeur report that the Dutch side could fund a deal for the 22-year-old by selling El Bilal Toure to Atalanta. Luuk de Jong is also reportedly on Rangers' radar as he looks to have brought his time at PSV Eindhoven to an end. The 34-year-old has seen his No. 9 jersey handed to Ricardo Pepi while the Eredivise champions have signed Borussia Monchengladbach forward Alassane Plea as a successor. During the German training camp this week, boss Peter Bosz admitted: "We owe a lot to Luuk, but we have to move on." PSV and Netherlands' legend Willy van de Kerkhof has urged De Jong to hold a last-ditch summit with Bosz before walking away from the offer on the table. He told ED: "The chances of him signing with PSV before September 1 are getting smaller and smaller, that much is clear. "I was 35 when I was faced with the decision to add another season after fourteen years at PSV. I myself was in doubt just like Luuk. "There were nice offers, for example from Go Ahead Eagles and a few other clubs. I would have liked to do something else, but changed my mind pretty quickly after a good conversation with Guus Hiddink. "He made me see how I could be of value as an older player, without playing a huge amount. I would like to give that to Luuk as well. "I had a wonderful last season, without much pressure. As an older player you can be so important with your experience and that gave me a lot of satisfaction."
