#What happened with Anass Salah-Eddine at PSV Eindhoven?
PSV Eindhoven decided not to activate the €8 million option for left-back Anass Salah-Eddine, leading to his return to AS Roma after a loan that did not meet expectations. The Dutch side had until the end of the loan to finalize the purchase but opted against it, and discussions regarding an alternative permanent deal have since stagnated.
#Why did Salah-Eddine's loan fail to thrive?
Salah-Eddine joined PSV on August 31, 2025, but logged only 17 appearances in the Eredivisie, which consists of 34 matchdays. This lack of playing time did not allow him to showcase his potential fully.
#What is Salah-Eddine's background?
Born on January 18, 2002, in the Netherlands, Salah-Eddine developed his skills in the Dutch football system before transferring to AS Roma from FC Twente on February 3, 2025. There, he made only three Serie A appearances before his loan to PSV. Now, he is set to return to Roma, where he has two more years on his contract, valid until June 30, 2028.
#What does the future hold for Salah-Eddine and AS Roma?
Salah-Eddine's market value is around €12 million, which surpasses the buyout option that PSV declined. As of early June 2026, negotiations between PSV and Roma for any permanent transfer seem to have lost momentum. It appears more likely that Salah-Eddine will rejoin Roma for the preseason, where he can continue his development and possibly secure his position within the squad.
