PSV defender Boscagli 'nears free transfer' to Brighton as contract expires

  /  autty

PSV defender Olivier Boscagli will reportedly join Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion when his contract in Eindhoven expires.

27-year-old Boscagli joined PSV in 2019 and has grown to be a pivotal part of the squad's foundation, playing a big role in PSV's back-to-back title charges in 2024 and 2025.

The Monaco-born has played 204 games in all competitions for the reigning Eredivisie champions, but will not extend his contract at the club and leave on a free transfer.

According to several reports, including from Fabrizio Romano and Sky's Florian Plettenberg, Boscagli will join Premier League outfit Brighton & Hove Albion upon the expiry of his contract. Brighton have been chasing Boscagli for an extended time and tried to lure the Frenchman to the Amex Stadium in the summer of 2024, but Boscagli was forced to stay put after PSV refused to cooperate after receiving a bid of north of 8 million pounds.

With PSV, centre-half Boscagli won two Eredivisie titles, the KNVB Beker twice, and three Johan Cruyff Shields.
