Overview
- PSV completed the transfer of Sven Mijnans on Monday, July 6, 2026, announcing a contract through 2031 and that he will wear shirt number 21.
- Clubs reported a transfer fee of €13 million paid to AZ while some outlets cited a range of €12–15 million for the move.
- The signing is presented as the planned successor to Ismael Saibari, who left PSV for Bayern Munich for a record fee earlier in the window and freed funds for reinvestment.
- Mijnans, 26, arrives with more than 180 Eredivisie appearances and recent double‑figure goal contributions, and PSV described him as a versatile, hard‑running midfielder who adds leadership to the team.
- PSV had pursued Mijnans last season when AZ refused to sell, and the transfer could affect early fixtures because Mijnans may meet his former club when PSV play AZ for the Johan Cruijff Schaal on August 2, 2026.
