Overview

  • PSV must trigger a €5 million purchase obligation plus up to €2 million in bonuses if Kovar meets agreed performance or appearance criteria.
  • Kovar’s contract with Bayer Leverkusen remains valid until June 30, 2027, and the German club retains a share of any future resale fee.
  • Since joining from Manchester United in 2023 for around €5 million, Kovar served primarily as backup to Lukas Hradecky and saw limited Bundesliga action.
  • The arrival of Mark Flekken further reduced Kovar’s opportunities at Leverkusen and accelerated his pursuit of regular first-team football.
  • Reunited with former Leverkusen coach Peter Bosz at PSV, Kovar will compete for the No. 1 goalkeeper spot at a club set to play in the Champions League.
