Moreno left PSV for AS Roma this summer and Guardado is on the verge of a move to the Major League Soccer in the United States.
PSV hopes to return to the top of the Dutch league with Lozano. After clinching the Dutch title in 2015 and 2016 PSV finished on a disappointing third place in the Eredivisie last season.
