PSV seems to have struck gold, but the special situation arises that Van Duiven has an expiring contract and is therefore in danger of walking out for free after this season. A large number of interested clubs – from home and abroad – have now contacted his agent Joost Ebergen to discuss a contract for the new season in January.

Van Duiven has been playing in the PSV youth team for more than seven years. The attacker from Almelo then made the switch from the youth of FC Twente to the top club from Eindhoven. His stay at PSV could come to an end in the short term, although PSV still has the option to offer him a new contract. PSV has not heard anything to date, but it is expected that the Eindhoven club will soon make an offer, if only to secure the international training allowance.
Even more expiring contracts
The expiring contract of Van Duiven, who has scored 14 goals in 22 games for Jong PSV in the Kitchen Champion Division, is not an isolated event. The contracts of Jong PSV players Dele Thomas, who has 3 goals and 6 assists this season, and Tai Abed, who has provided 7 goals and 4 assists this season, also expire after this season. Robin van Duiven is a younger brother of Jason van Duiven, who, despite scoring 21 goals in 48 games for Jong PSV, would never make his debut in the main squad and currently plays for the Belgian SK Lommel.
