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.'

Barcelona star's departure set to take ‘longer than expected'
The departure of an out-of-favour member of the first-team ranks at La Liga champions Barcelona is not progressing at the speed which the club had hoped. That's according to , who point towards Iñaki Peña as the player in question. Peña is for his part fresh off something of a difficult campaign in Catalunya's capital in 2024/25. Thrust into a surprisingly prominent role owing to the long-term injury suffered by Marc-André ter Stegen, the 26-year-old, for the most part, went on to impress in Hansi Flick's XI. Before long, however, Peña was forced to watch on from the bench once more, as free agent signing Wojciech Szczęsny usurped the Spaniard in the Blaugrana goalkeeper pecking order. With Szczęsny having since been rewarded by way of a two-year contract extension, and Joan García's arrival from Espanyol long confirmed, it has in turn come as no great surprise to hear of Peña eyeing a new challenge. As alluded to above, however, if the latest word stemming from the Spanish media is anything to go by, then Peña's exit is unlikely to be confirmed any time soon… As per a report from MD: 'Iñaki Peña knows he's not in Flick's plans and that the best course of action is to move on. However, the offers he's received don't meet his expectations, and although he's open to negotiations, the deal could take longer than expected.' Conor Laird – GSFN
