Despite initially making a strong impact at the start of the season, Bakkali has seen limited playing time under manager Philip Cocu, featuring in only one match so far in 2014. Additionally, it appears that several foreign clubs have expressed keen interest in signing him.
With his contract set to expire in 2015, Bakkali seems reluctant to extend his stay at PSV, much to the frustration of the club’s management. Marcel Brands, PSV Eindhoven’s manager, expressed his exasperation, stating, “We’re not going to chase after him forever!” Despite the club’s efforts to retain him with a lucrative offer and promising future prospects, Bakkali remains determined to depart.
Despite his recent lack of playing time, Bakkali’s undeniable potential has not gone unnoticed by interested teams, particularly Arsenal, known for their interest in nurturing young talents.
