🚨 And now a record deal: ex-Bayern star brings in his son as coach
Mark van Bommel has always been one who never backs down. As a player, he never shied away from any duel, and as a coach, he's not afraid to make a sixth substitution in a cup game just like that. And apparently, he's not afraid to set a transfer record for his own son either. That's exactly what he's done now in his role as head coach of PSV Eindhoven. As the Eredivisie club announced today, van Bommel's son Ruben was signed from AZ Alkmaar. According to 'Sky', PSV is paying 15.8 million euros, which would replace Hirving Lozano, who came from Naples in 2023 for 15 million, as the record transfer. However, with Ruben van Bommel, PSV is not getting a tenacious midfielder and destroyer like his father was as a player. The 20-year-old, who also played for Eindhoven in his youth, is a winger and is more known for his pacey dribbling and goal threat, rather than uncompromising tackles and hard-earned red cards. Last season, he scored ten goals and provided six assists in 34 games across all competitions. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Hamza Igamane a Feyenoord transfer target as Rangers braced for record breaking bid from Dutch giants
The Eredivise giants are desperate to knock PSV off their perch and Robin van Persie wants Gers' Moroccan star to shoot them down Dutch big guns Feyenoord are considering shattering their own transfer record by launching a big money move for Hamza Igamane. Sources in Rotterdam have confirmed to Record Sport that the big spending Eredivisie outfit have joined a group of clubs from across Europe closely tracking the Rangers striker and have not been scared off by Igamane's potential multi-million pound price tag. It's understood president Toon van Bodegom is prepared to dig deep this summer in a bid to help recently appointed boss Robin van Persie knock PSV Eindhoven off their perch after back-to-back title wins. He's already backed Van Persie by splashing out around £10m to sign Holland's player of the year last season, Sem Steijn, from FC Twente ahead of the new campaign. The deal for Steijn made the playmaker the most expensive signing in Feyenoord's history but, two just months on, Van Bodegom is prepared to break the bank all over again as Van Persie weighs up a number of potential new strikers. And Igamane 's name is believed to feature high on his shortlist of targets. French clubs Lille and Rennes are understood to be closely monitoring Igamane's situation with Everton and Italian outfit Udinese also heavily linked. Lille had thrashed out Igamane's personal terms earlier this summer but then failed to table a cash offer after being spooked by an asking price believed to be around £15m. Rennes are now thought to be the next Ligue 1 club ready to come to the table after selling former Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi to Birmingham and preparing to bank a further £20m from the sale of another striker, Arnaud Kalimuendo. But Feyenoord could jump to the front of the queue with sources in the Netherlands insisting that the interest in the Moroccan international is 'very serious' even if a £15m fee would be 'at the very top end' of Feyenoord's budget. Igamane has been named in Russell Martin 's squad for the Champions League double header against Panathinaikos but is not expected to lead the Rangers attack in tomorrow night's first leg tie, with former Feyenoord frontman Danilo tipped to get the nod up front.

Sunderland's Romaine Mundle reveals surgery has been a success
A day after reports emerged that the 22-year-old had suffered an unspecified injury during the club's pre-season training camp in Portugal, he posted a photograph of himself recovering in a hospital bed on his official Instagram account. The image was accompanied by a post which read: 'Devastated to be here writing this message and words can't fully describe the emotions attached to this setback. 'Sometimes it's hard to find the positives in situations like these, but without a doubt I'll be back better physically. 'Surgery was a success and the road to recovery begins now. Although it has been a difficult period for me over the last few days, this is only a minor setback and I will be back better than before.' It remains to be seen how long Mundle, who has been linked with a summer move away from Wearside in recent days with Ligue 1 Monaco and Eredivisie PSV Eindhoven linked with moves for the pacy midfielder, will be out of action. However, his misfortune will come as blow to head coach Regis Le Bris, whose side was in friendly action against Spanish outfit Sevilla on Saturday evening at the Estadio Algarve in Faro just four weeks before they renew acquaintances with the English top flight when West Ham visit the Stadium of Light.
