  "account": "Borussia Dortmund are on the verge of securing another significant midfield addition in PSV Eindhoven's Joey Veerman. The Dutch midfielder is set to join the Bundesliga club following Dortmund's activation of his release clause. The reported transfer fee for Veerman sits between €22-25 million, with the player committing to a five-year contract at Signal Iduna Park. The final administrative steps are now primarily centered around a medical examination, followed by Veerman signing his new deal. This milestone represents a rapid progression in Dortmund's pursuit of Veerman, who has emerged as one of the club's key midfield targets over the past few days. Dutch reports suggested Dortmund's interest in the 27-year-old had become increasingly serious, while the player himself had expressed positive sentiments towards a potential move to Germany. He even referred to Dortmund as a \"great option,\" joking that the club would need to expedite proceedings if they wanted to sign him. This urgency can be attributed to a release clause in Veerman's PSV contract, which is valued at approximately €20 million and was set to expire in the near future, leaving Dortmund with a limited window to finalize the deal under those terms.",
