Bulgarian shot stopper Nikolay Mihaylov almost joined Eredivisie giants PSV on deadline day. The Liverpool goalie, currently on loan at Twente, claims that the Eindhoven side made a last minute approach for him, but that the Tukkers refused to let go of him.
"Liverpool and PSV had already reached an agreement, but Twente coach Steve McClaren refused to let me leave," was Mihaylov quoted as saying by Bulgarian medium 24chasa.
"We will continue talks during the winter break and I'm full of confidence that I will sign for PSV in January. Unfortunately, we lacked the time to terminate my loan deal with Twente in a proper way."
PSV had reportedly convinced Liverpool to let go of Mihaylov for €1.5 million. The English powerhouse insisted on a €3 million buy-back clause, but the transfer eventually collapsed due to a lack of time.
The Eindhoven side are in the market for a new goalie due to the far from impressive performances of current first choice glovesman Andreas Isaksson. The Swede has showed shaky hands on more than one occasion since signing for PSV in the summer of 2008.
