Joël Drommel joins Sparta Rotterdam on loan from PSV
Drommel arrives at Het Kasteel as the successor to Nick Olij, who took the opposite route earlier this summer. The 28-year-old goalkeeper from Bussum will have to compete with Filip Bednarek. Sparta were also linked with Jasper Schendelaar, but the PEC Zwolle goalkeeper proved too expensive.

To prevent Drommel from leaving on a free transfer after his loan spell at Sparta, PSV are extending his expiring contract until the summer of 2027. He transferred from FC Twente to PSV four years ago for a hefty €3.5 million and played 66 matches in Eindhoven. In the 2022-23 season, Drommel experienced his biggest highlight at PSV, saving the decisive penalty in the cup final against Ajax.
Sparta director Gerard Nijkamp indicated that Drommel's transfer was also necessary for the goalkeeper himself. 'He wants to become the first-choice goalkeeper at an Eredivisie club again, something PSV couldn't offer him.
'With us, Joël can prove in pre-season why he's ready to become Sparta's first-choice goalkeeper. We're very happy with Joël's arrival, as we've been looking for good replacements for Olij this summer.'

Atalanta will meet for Muniz and Mateta in striker search
Atalanta are reportedly intensifying their pursuit of Fulham centre-forward Rodrigo Muniz, with a meeting also planned for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. According to Sky Sport Italia, 24-year-old Muniz is increasingly seen as the hot favourite to reinforce the attack in Bergamo following Mateo Retegui's record breaking transfer to Al-Qadsiyah. The Brazilian found the net 11 times with two assists in the Premier League last season and his contract only runs to June 2026, although the club does have an option to extend by another year. Formerly of Flamengo, Muniz made the €8m transfer to Fulham in 2021. Muniz and Mateta on Atalanta radar CRAWLEY, ENGLAND – JULY 25: Jean-Phillipe Mateta of Crystal Palace looks on during the pre-season friendly match between Crawley Town and Crystal Palace at Broadfield Stadium on July 25, 2025 in Crawley, England. (Photo by) Sky Sport Italia also warn that Atalanta directors might use the trip to England to have other meetings too, specifically with Crystal Palace. This is because Mateta is seen as another alternative for the attack, even after the reported €34.7m proposal was rejected. He recently turned 28 and had an impressive 14 goals with two assists in 37 Premier League appearances last term.
