Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have emerged as contenders to sign Dyran Stam, the highly-rated young left-back from PSV Eindhoven, according to reports in the Dutch press. The Bundesliga clubs are both showing significant interest in the 16-year-old, who currently plays for PSV’s U-17 side.
Eindhovens Dagblad reports that Leipzig have already made an offer of €1.5 million for Stam, but the bid was rejected by the Dutch club. PSV clearly value the player highly, having recently awarded him his first professional contract in early 2023, a deal which is set to run until 2028. This suggests PSV will require a substantially increased offer to consider a sale at this stage.
Stam is a Dutch U-16 international and is widely considered one of the most promising young left-backs in the Netherlands. He has quickly established himself as a key player for PSV’s youth team, demonstrating a maturity and technical ability beyond his years. His ability to contribute both defensively and in attack has drawn the attention of several European clubs.
Bayer Leverkusen are also reportedly monitoring Stam’s progress, though the level of their interest remains unclear. The competition from multiple Bundesliga sides highlights the growing demand for talented young players in Germany. Stam’s potential arrival at either Dortmund or Leipzig would add further depth to their youth systems and provide competition for established first-team players in the future. The pursuit of Stam underscores both clubs’ commitment to developing young talent and building for sustained success.
While a transfer this summer is not necessarily imminent given his current contract situation, the interest from prominent Bundesliga clubs could accelerate Stam’s development and potentially lead to a move in the near future. PSV will likely be keen to maximize any potential transfer fee, given the player’s clear potential and long-term contract.
