Bakayoko
“I am ready for the top,”
“It is also possible that I will leave next year, but I still have to discuss it carefully with my agent. It will also partly depend on PSV, where I will play next season.
“I can handle a place at the top. If I were to leave Eindhoven, it would only be to a club that plays for trophies, just like PSV. Becoming champion is what I want. And win the Champions League. I have the qualities for that.
“PSV is also a top club, especially if many players from last season stay. And it's nice here. Yes, really. Nice.
“I don't think I've ever felt reluctant to play here. The holiday was shortly after the European Championship, but it is great to be back at PSV. The vibe from last season is still there”
"It had been a long time since PSV became champions. I wanted to leave something behind, in case I was going to leave. I would not have done that last year and if it comes to a transfer now, that will be the case.
PSV has won the title and achieved something again in Europe. That mission has been completed, but now we have to see whether there will be a next mission and what the club has left for me.”
