PSV in talks with AZ, unstable clubs want to make a deal with PSV by stealing it | 'AZ very high up in the tree for Mijnans'

PSV appears to be looking to fully commit to a deal with AZ in order to be able to take over Sven Mijnans. The club from Alkmaar is not exactly in a strong position, because it has already made an agreement with the player to cooperate in a transfer to another club this summer.

Still, AZ wants to receive many, many millions for its midfielder. Myans, certainly after a good season, should bring in around 15 to 17 million euros. That seems a bit too much of a good thing, but in Alkmaar they see FC Twente and NEC cashing in heavily for their midfielders and so the leadership at AZ believes that the payment should be made in the same coin for the midfielder, who certainly has had a fine season but at the same time may not be called an exceptional midfielder.

PSV would have competition from Juventus, Como and RB Leipzig, but none of the clubs mentioned are performing as consistently as PSV. The question, then, is whether the clubs mentioned are actually eligible for a transfer of Mijnans. De Telegraaf reports that AZ, in turn, wants to see fifteen to seventeen million euros for Mijnans. An unprecedentedly high amount to buy out the midfielder's contract, which still runs for another two years.

PSV is therefore aiming at Alkmaar just like a year ago in order to be able to take over Sven Mijnans. A year later, PSV still sees a future for the AZ midfielder, which of course also has to do with the departure of Ismael Saibari. Last season, Peter Bosz, Ernie Stewart and Marcel Brands saw a future in Mijnans in order to be able to replace Malik Tillman. 

Multiple media report that PSV wants to make further efforts this summer with Mijnans, who was personally prevented a year ago by Max Huiberts.

It is clear that PSV is not the only club showing interest: according to the ED, Como, Juventus and Leipzig are also in the market, with in particular the two Italian clubs seemingly 'strong competitors'. VoetbalPrimeur can confirm that interest. The ED adds that 'no one wants to confirm or deny' that PSV and AZ have now been in active discussions about a transfer for Mijnans.

The contract of Mijnans is running towards its end, but the club from Alkmaar still wants to receive a substantial transfer fee for Mijnans, who played a very good cup final for AZ in April of this year. The 26-year-old left midfielder was taken over in the summer of 2023 for €2.5 million from Sparta Rotterdam.
