Van Bommel wants to embrace former AZ teammate at PSV: โ€œI would be delightedโ€

PSV new boy, Ruben van Bommel, hopes his new club can also sign Sven Mijnans from AZ Alkmaar. The winger has been a PSV player since last week, while Mijnans, who, as is well known, is on Eindhovenโ€™s radar.

PSV turned their interests to Mijnans after Malik Tillman left for Bayer Leverkusen. However, AZ arenโ€™t willing to let the attacking midfielder go. Moreover, they arenโ€™t keen on selling him to another top-three Dutch club. Despite the Alkmaar sideโ€™s stance, PSV is not giving up yet.

Van Bommel hopes the transfer of Mijnans, who wants to play Champions League football in Eindhoven, can still go ahead. โ€œI did talk to Sven about it,โ€ the left winger told both Voetbal International and De Telegraaf during a media briefing in Germany.

โ€œI just donโ€™t really know what the situation is now. I would definitely welcome him. I get along well with him on and off the pitch. I would be delighted if he came,โ€ concludes Van Bommel.ย 

Mijnans, 25, has a contract with AZ until the summer of 2028. The Alkmaar side are expected to want around 12 to 13 million euros for the former Sparta Rotterdam player.
