📋 CURRENT STATUS — READ BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE
Salah-Eddine joined PSV on 31 August 2025 on a season-long loan from AS Roma with an €8M option to buy. PSV did not exercise that option, and he returned to Roma at the end of the 2025-26 season. This card documents a completed, single-season loan spell — not an active PSV player. Treat everything here as retrospective.

15+7
Eredivisie + UCL apps, 2025-26
Real, regular game time at a title-winning club. 15 Eredivisie appearances plus 7 Champions League matches is a legitimate contributor's workload, not a fringe squad slot — but PSV letting the €8M option lapse is a real signal that needs weighing against the raw appearance count, not ignored.
🎯 THE €8M QUESTION PSV ANSWERED WITH "NO"
A club with genuine LB depth needs let a loan option expire on a player getting regular European football minutes. That's not necessarily a verdict on quality — could be squad-fit, wage demands, or simple depth-chart timing — but it's a real data point that shouldn't be waved away by appearance counts alone.

None confirmed. All 12 Tier 3 metrics require match-video evidence not yet collected for this player.
Only 1 of 3 standard PSV files is usable (Telstar, red card and all). Groningen pre-dates his transfer; Sparta Rotterdam falls inside his suspension.
Preliminary Data Verdict
A 23-year-old left-back who switched from the Netherlands to Morocco mid-loan, played real minutes for PSV across league and Champions League, took a red card and a suspension along the way, and ultimately wasn't kept by the club that had him on loan.

⚠️ Read before citing this number
Empire's real FGA is 20% Tier 1 / 30% Tier 2 / 50% Tier 3. With Tier 2/3 both empty, this 6.6 is a substitute built from public Tier 1 numbers, deliberately weighed down by the unconverted buy option and the red card/suspension — a real appearance count doesn't erase the club's own decision not to keep him.

Data-Driven Scouting Report — Preliminary
Public sources only · Tier 3 not conducted
Anass Salah-Eddine is a 23-year-old left-back/wing-back born in Amsterdam, who came through Ajax's academy and FC Twente before joining AS Roma. He spent the 2025-26 season on loan at PSV Eindhoven (from 31 August 2025, with an €8M option to buy), making 15 Eredivisie and 7 Champions League appearances. Note the reporting discrepancy: one source cites 17 total Eredivisie appearances rather than 15+7 across competitions — both figures are presented here for transparency rather than silently reconciled.
Mid-season, he switched international allegiance from the Netherlands to Morocco — FIFA approved the change on 21 October 2025, and he received his first senior Morocco call-up within weeks, entering AFCON contention. He'd previously won the 2019 U17 European Championship with the Dutch and earned 13 Netherlands U21 caps.
The single most important fact for evaluating this loan spell: PSV let the €8M buy option lapse and he returned to Roma in June 2026. Whatever the specific reasons (squad fit, wages, depth-chart timing), the club that had the closest look at him for a full season chose not to keep him. A red card and 3-match ban against Telstar in the season's final stretch is a data point worth weighing here too, not dismissing as noise.
On the Groningen link supplied: that match was played 23 August 2025 — 8 days before Salah-Eddine joined PSV on 31 August. He could not possibly have featured in it. This is a chronological impossibility, not a "did not play" judgment call, and the file has been excluded from the Matches tab accordingly.
On the Morocco national-team links: the Canada-Morocco file corresponds to the 4 July 2026 World Cup Round of 16 match, where he was named among the substitutes but not confirmed to have played. The Scotland-Morocco file is ambiguous between two real fixtures (an Oct 2025 friendly and the June 2026 World Cup group match) and his involvement in either could not be independently confirmed before this card was built. The Morocco-Comoros file's context (likely AFCON 2025-26, hosted in Morocco) could also not be independently verified in the time available. All three are flagged honestly rather than guessed at — see Matches tab.
