PSV's summer hinges on 26‑year‑old midfielder Mijnans' insistence

Twenty‑six‑year‑old Sven Mijnans is poised to become PSV's first major acquisition of the current transfer window. The reigning Dutch champions and AZ are reportedly on the brink of a deal, with the midfielder's own determination to join PSV providing the decisive push. PSV entered the summer as the defending Eredivisie champions, looking to preserve the success that secured them the league title last season. Adding a player of Mijnans' profile fits the club's ambition to stay at the top of Dutch football. The contract is expected to be signed in Eindhoven once the remaining points are settled between the parties. This will formalise Mijnans' move to the club that he has explicitly chosen.
