PSV winger Esmir Bajraktarevic has attracted renewed interest from Spain and Italy, with AC Milan and Villarreal among the clubs reportedly monitoring his performances ahead of a potential transfer.

According to journalist Christian Vaquero of Fichajes as relayed by PSV Inside, the 20-year-old has caught the attention of several clubs across Europe. The Bosnian international, who joined PSV from New England Revolution in January 2025 for approximately €3 million, is now attracting interest despite having struggled to secure a regular starting position in Eindhoven.

“Villarreal in Spain and two clubs in Italy, including AC Milan, closely follow the performances of Esmir Bajraktarevic, a player for PSV,” Vaquero reported on X.

No formal offer has been reported, but the growing attention could become an important development in PSV's planning for the upcoming transfer windows.

Bajraktarevic has largely been used as a substitute since arriving at PSV, finding it difficult to establish himself as a regular starter under Peter Bosz.

However, his involvement has increased in recent weeks, partly because of injuries affecting PSV's attacking options. The winger took full advantage of his opportunity against SC Cambuur last Sunday, providing two assists in the 5-2 victory.

His performance offered another reminder of his potential, although competition for places remains considerable.

Ruben van Bommel has returned strongly from a serious cruciate ligament injury, while Ivan Perisic has also featured on the right wing after previously operating on the opposite flank. Those circumstances have limited Bajraktarevic's opportunities to establish himself in the starting XI.

One factor that could shape Bajraktarevic's future is Perisic's contractual situation. The Croatian's current agreement is due to expire, leaving uncertainty over whether he will extend his stay in Eindhoven.

Should Perisic depart or decide against renewing, Bajraktarevic could have a clearer route to regular playing time next season.

PSV must therefore weigh the growing external interest against the possibility that the winger could become a more important part of Bosz's plans.

Bajraktarevic is not the only PSV attacker reportedly attracting attention from those markets. Transfer journalist Ekrem Konur recently reported that Dennis Man is also being monitored by clubs in Spain and Italy, including Valencia and Lazio.

Lazio were interested in bringing Man to Rome last summer but ultimately stepped away after securing former PSV player Albert Gudmundsson on loan.

With interest emerging in two of PSV's attacking players, the coming months could prove important for the club's squad planning. For Bajraktarevic, his recent performances have strengthened his position, but whether that leads to a bigger role in Eindhoven or a move elsewhere remains to be seen.
