PSV made a new bid of 10 million euros on Mijnans last Saturday, but AZ is holding Star to an asking price of 14 million euros for the midfielder, who was taken over from Sparta Rotterdam two and a half years ago.

Mijnans has set his sights on the transfer to PSV, because it is a great opportunity for him to play in the absolute top and to be active in the Champions League. The 25-year-old midfielder has since shown himself willing to hand in his percentage on the transfer fee to make the deal possible, but AZ continues to sell no stubbornly no. That attitude encounters incomprehension with Mijnans. At the beginning of this year, AZ made the commitment to think about a transfer in this window if a good offer for Mijnans would be on the table.

AZ High in the tree when interested PSV

With the offer to hand in his percentage on the transfer fee, Mijnans is not alone, because earlier this summer Ruben van Bommel also had to do that to make his transfer to PSV possible and in a somewhat further past that was also the case with Teun Koopmeiners, Sam Beukema and Tijjani Reijnders, when they wanted to make the step up.
