Geertruida, 26, left boyhood club Feyenoord for RB Leipzig in 2024 and made 27 starts in his debut season in Germany, but was allowed to leave on loan ahead of the 2025/26 season, joining Sunderland, with whom he finished seventh in their first season back in the Premier League.
According to several sources, Feyenoord are trying to lure Geertruida back to Rotterdam, but are facing stiff competition from reigning champions PSV.
RB Leipzig are willing to sell Geertruida, but demand a fee of 20 million euros (£17m), De Telegraaf reported on Friday. PSV are said to have reached a personal agreement with Geertruida already, according to Eindhovens Dagblad, while Feyenoord are preparing a bid.
Geertruida played 202 games for Feyenoord between 2018 and 2024, scoring 24 goals and winning one Eredivisie title, two Dutch Cups, and two Johan Cruyff Shields.
The defender, who can play both as a centre-half and right-back, was a late call-up for the Netherlands' 2026 FIFA World Cup squad, with Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber dropping out late with a groin injury.
