Borussia Dortmund’s Managing Director for Sport, Lars Ricken, explains: “Joey is a player who will help us enormously with his abilities. This summer, we deliberately placed a focus of our transfer activities on central midfield, because since the start of the year we have let two players go there in Pascal Groß and Salih Özcan — and with Emre Can, once he returns to the team, we are planning for him in central defense.”
Veerman joined FC Volendam in 2005 at the age of six and made his professional debut for the second-division club in June 2016, going on to make 81 appearances (12 goals). From 2019 to 2021, he played for Eredivisie club SC Heerenveen (81 appearances, 18 goals) before moving to PSV Eindhoven in January 2022. With the Dutch top club, the midfielder won the league title three times (2024, 2025, 2026), the cup twice (2022, 2023), and the Super Cup three times (2022, 2023, 2025). In total, he made 198 appearances for PSV (31 goals).
Sporting Director Ole Book emphasizes: “Joey is a really outstanding footballer with a great deal of creativity, technique, and vision. At PSV Eindhoven and with the Dutch national team, he has shown that he can consistently deliver strong performances at the highest level. We are delighted that he will bring his qualities to our game in the future.”
After one appearance for the Netherlands U19 national team, Veerman has made 16 appearances for the senior Netherlands national team since 2023 (one goal).
Joey Veerman says about his move to BVB: “Borussia Dortmund is a big club in Europe, and I am proud to now be part of this club. I’m incredibly happy to be here and want to celebrate success together with BVB.”
