PSV Eindhoven makes a move for Kodai Sano
PSV Eindhoven seems to be making a serious attempt to sign Japanese midfielder Kodai Sano from NEC. The player has expressed interest in the club, but says that nothing is certain. 'There are a lot of rumors. PSV? No, I haven't spoken with them. No, not with a Premier League club either. But I've played for NEC for two years now and I'm open to a transfer. Or maybe not. Fifty-fifty. I can go or I won't go.', Sano said in an interview with Omroep Gelderland.
Why is PSV Eindhoven interested in Kodai Sano?
PSV Eindhoven has been interested in the Japanese midfielder for weeks. The club thinks that Sano would be a good addition to their squad. 'If PSV really wants Sano, NEC won't make it difficult', say Sander Janssen and Kalum van Oudheusden of Voetbal International.
What happens next?
PSV Eindhoven will have to wait until the transfer period to see if they can sign Sano. NEC has a contract with the player until 2028, so it won't be easy to convince him to leave.
