Joins PSV on loan Geertruida has joined PSV on a season long loan from RB Leipzig, with a free option to buy included in the deal, the club announced.

Impact Geertruida moved from Feyenoord to Leipzig two years ago before spending last season on loan at Sunderland, where he made 28 Premier League appearances, and he also brings considerable experience from the Champions League and other international competitions. Geertruida is expected to add versatility to PSV's defense given his ability to play across multiple positions at the back.

Returns to Leipzig Geertruida returned to RB Leipzig following the conclusion of his loan spell with Sunderland.

Impact Geertruida spent the 2025-26 season on loan with Sunderland, where he gained regular first-team experience before returning to his parent club. The defender will now rejoin Leipzig for preseason preparations while his future remains unresolved. Whether he earns a role in the Bundesliga side's plans or pursues another move in the coming weeks remains to be seen.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Could stay at Sunderland Geertruida remains in discussions with Sunderland over his future at the club, according to Sunderland.

Impact Geertruida earned a World Cup call-up to the Netherlands squad as a replacement for the injured Jurrien Timber, a reward for a strong season on Wearside in which his versatility at right-back and center-back made him a valuable asset. The defender's future club destination remains undecided, with Sunderland continuing talks in hopes of keeping him beyond the current campaign.

JUNE 19 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Netherlands squad Geertruida has been called up to the Netherlands' World Cup squad as a replacement for the injured Jurrien Timber, according to the federation.

Impact Geertruida's call-up is a reward for a strong season with Sunderland in the Premier League, with the versatile defender capable of operating at right-back or center-back, giving coach Ronald Koeman valuable flexibility in his defensive options. His inclusion brings the Dutch squad back to 26 players at their base camp in Kansas, and while the circumstances of his call-up are unfortunate given Jurrien Timber's injury, Geertruida now has the opportunity to make an impact on the biggest stage of his career. His ability to cover multiple positions across the backline makes him a practical and reliable solution for a Netherlands side with genuine ambitions of going deep in World cup.

Records four crosses Geertruida recorded four crosses (one accurate) and three tackles in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 94th minute.

Impact Geertruida is back in the starting XI, earning a fifth straight start Sunday after a spell of time in a rotational role through January and February. He earned a decent outing as Sunderland pulled out the win, whipping in four crosses while adding three tackles and six clearances in the defense. However, with Reinildo back fit again, Geertruida is likely in for a loss in time again, with Trai Hume returning to right-back.

Loaned to Sunderland Geertruida has been loaned to Sunderland from Leipzig, according to his parent club.

Impact Geertruida fell out of favor to end last season and will now move to the Premier League, where he is expected to see solid time and gain experience, joining newly promoted Sunderland for the season. The utility defender started last season in a starting role before he was dropped from contention, starting in 17 of his 24 appearances between center-back and right-back. He will now join a backline full of new signings, where he should break through to see the team sheet regularly, possibly part of a rotation in the backline with Trai Hume and Nordi Mukiele.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Falls out of favor late Geertruida started just two of the last eight Bundesliga matches.

Impact Geertruida opened the season playing a large role, with his versatility at right-back and center-back proving crucial. The defender ended the season on the outside looking in, though he did start the finale. Geertruida has been linked with a move away from Leipzig, but also recently signed a long-term contract. If Kosta Nedeljkovic is brought in to Leipzig permanently Geertruida may be more driven to seek a move away from the club.

MAY 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in win Geertruida recorded one cross (one accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Geertruida has taken on occasional minutes in a variety of roles, but is seemingly tasked with staying back. The full-back actually offers a decent bit going forward, but for the most part he's been utilized as a wide center-back. Geertruida will have limited offensive upside as long as he remains in that role.

MARCH 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two chances created Geertruida recorded two shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Geertruida created a pair of chances from right-back, getting forward far more frequently than he normally does. The defender has been a nice depth option, getting minutes at center-back and right-back. When everyone is fit it may be hard for Geertruida to get starting minutes, but with injuries throughout the team Geertruida should get plenty of chances in the back half of the season.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return soon Geertruida (strain) is returning to team training and is expected to be fit soon, according to his club.

Impact Geertruida looks to have cleared the injuries he picked up ahead of the break, as he is now expected to get back into tram training this week. IF that comes to fruit, this leaves him in a solid spot, probably returning against Hoffenheim on Saturday. He did start in his last five appearances, so he is likely to gain that spot back immediately if an option Saturday.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Saturday Geertruida (strain) will not be an option for Saturday's match against Gladbach.

Impact Geertruida started at right back against Celtic on Tuesday, playing 84 minutes before being forced off with a muscle strain. He had started the last five games in all competitions, totaling a goal with 10 clearances, nine crosses (five accurate) and nine tackles in that span. El Chadaille Bitshiabu is likely to see the start in the back line Saturday in his absence.

NOVEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores first Bundesliga goal Geertruida scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 win versus SC Freiburg.

Impact Geertruida recorded his first goal for Leipzig to help the team get the win Saturday. He's also been able to help out in the defensive end of the pitch with 14 clearances and 11 tackles (seven won) in six appearances, five of them coming as starts.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Completes Leipzig transfer Geertruida has joined RB Leipzig on a five-year deal until the end of the 2028/29 season, his new club announced Friday.

Impact Geertruida was heavily linked with a move away from Feyenoord in the summer, and the transfer materialized in the final day of the window. The Netherlands international should compete for a starting role right away, and his blend of physicality, technical ability and pace should play really well in the Bundesliga, particularly in an attacking-minded team such as Leipzig.

Own goal in UCL loss Geertruida had an own goal, one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Geertruida opened up the scoring in the 14th minute of Tuesday's Champions League match, just on the wrong net. It was one of two Feyenoord own goals in the match which ultimately has sent the team to the Europa League instead of the UCL knockouts. Geertruida had a decent match outside of the own goal, recording three tackles, two interceptions, two clearances and two blocked shots in his full 90 minutes of action.

Plays full 90 minutes Geertruida (undisclosed) started versus Excelsior on Saturday, recording two interceptions, one cross (inaccurate) and one chance created.

Impact Geertruida has started all four Group Stage contests for the club and should be back in the starting XI after shaking off his undisclosed injury. In those outings, the defender recorded three interceptions, five tackles (two won) and three interceptions.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up injury with Netherlands Geertruida has been diagnosed with an injury and his stint with the Netherlands national team could be over once further tests are taken, Dutch outlet 1908 reports.

Impact Geertruida has not been ruled out of the two international matches yet, but his availability to face Atletico Madrid on Nov. 28 could be in danger in case further tests confirm a more severe problem. Geertruida has started all four matches for Feyenoord in the UCL group stage, racking up five tackles, three clearances, two crosses and one clearance.
