Everton, Bournemouth to make bid for PSV starlet Esmir Bajraktarevic

Everton and Bournemouth are both chasing PSV starlet Esmir Bajraktarevic, with the Bosnian international now the subject of growing transfer attention, according to a Liverpool Echo report dated June 29.

The interest places the two clubs on course for a potential head-to-head pursuit, with Bajraktarevic viewed as a player who could be the subject of an offer as the summer market develops. The report frames Everton’s interest as a possible gamble, underlining that any move for a young player from PSV would require careful judgement over price, role and immediate impact.

Bajraktarevic’s status as a Bosnia international adds to his profile, and both Everton and Bournemouth are understood to be monitoring the situation closely. At this stage, no fee, contract detail or formal agreement has been reported, leaving the next step dependent on whether either club decides to turn interest into a concrete bid.

For Everton, the pursuit would fit the wider challenge of identifying players with development potential while still strengthening the squad. Bournemouth’s presence in the race could complicate matters, particularly if PSV receive more than one approach for the player.

PSV are likely to hold a strong position until an official proposal arrives, and Bajraktarevic’s camp may also have to assess which destination offers the clearest pathway. With two clubs credited with interest, the situation could move quickly if either side makes an early offer.

For now, Everton and Bournemouth remain in pursuit, with Bajraktarevic emerging as one of the young names to watch as the transfer window gathers momentum.
