PSV Eindhoven pushes again for Sven Mijnans

PSV Eindhoven wants to bring Sven Mijnans from AZ Eindhoven this summer, despite strong competition from Juventus, Como and RB Leipzig. The club sees the 23‑year‑old midfielder as one of the top signings of the transfer window, reports the Eindhovens Dagblad. AZ is asking between €15‑million and €17‑million, a sum PSV must weigh while European rivals balance their own budgets.

Why Mijnans is so attractive for the club

Mijnans combines physical strength with technical insight, traits PSV needs to deepen its attack. After a season delivering 12 goals and 8 assists, he fits perfectly into manager Peter Bosz’s emphasis on quick combinations. He can also play as a central or attacking midfielder, giving the team a flexible option for a packed schedule.

How the competition shapes the negotiation

Juventus has already submitted a scouting report, while RB Leipzig made an earlier offer through their German scouting network. Como, newly promoted to Serie A, sees Mijnans as a key player for their first top‑flight season. This pressure makes it harder for PSV to stay below AZ’s asking price, but the club remains hopeful a deal around €16 million is achievable given their strong financial position after a record season.

What this means for PSV’s title chase

With a current standing of first in the Eredivisie, 84 points, 27 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses from 34 games, and recent form WWDWW, PSV has a solid base. The team has already scored 101 goals and conceded 45 this season, a +56 goal difference, and leads Feyenoord by 19 points. Adding Mijnans would deepen the squad and ease pressure on the attack, especially after the convincing 5‑1 win over Twente on 17 May 2026.

How will the transfer proceed?

AZ has indicated the deal will only be finalised when the fee is around €16 million. PSV will likely submit a counter‑offer that allows the player to be integrated before the spring competition starts. The next weeks are crucial; a swift agreement could give the club extra stability for Champions League qualification, while a failed negotiation would further embolden the competition.

Statistic: PSV Eindhoven currently sits first in the Eredivisie with 84 points, 27 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses from 34 games, recent form WWDWW.
