Reports in the Netherlands suggest the total fee will approach €40 million, which would make it the second-biggest outbound transfer in PSV’s history. Earlier this month, Netherlands forward Cody Gakpo left PSV to join Liverpool for an initial £37m (€42m).
Sources told ESPN last week that Chelsea had made an initial bid of €30m for Madueke, despite being told by PSV that they had no interest in letting the player leave this month.
