Dennis Man has attracted interest from Atalanta Bergamo after an encouraging first season at PSV Eindhoven, but the Dutch champions currently have no intention of selling the Romanian.

PSV forward Dennis Man has emerged as a target for Italian club Atalanta, with multiple sources in Italy reporting that the Serie A side have been monitoring the 27-year-old during the closing stages of the transfer window.

Man joined PSV from Parma last year and produced solid numbers during his first campaign in Eindhoven. Although he was a regular starter, he was also frequently replaced at half-time.

His performances have nevertheless been enough to attract attention from his former footballing country, with Atalanta now considering a move.

PSV Have No Plans To Sell

Despite the interest, PSV have not received an offer for Man, and, according to PSV watcher Rik Elfrink of Eindhovens Dagblad, the club does not currently intend to part with him.

Man remains part of Peter Bosz's plans for the new season. With only a short period remaining in the transfer window, PSV would also face considerable difficulty finding a suitable replacement for the Romanian at a reasonable price.

As a result, the situation would have to change significantly before PSV consider allowing him to leave.

Only a substantial offer is expected to alter the club's position, with PSV's management set to determine the financial threshold.

Several PSV Players Could Still Leave

Man is not the only PSV player whose future remains under discussion.

Adamo Nagalo is among those who could leave, but his situation is complicated by an injury that will keep him unavailable for some time. A proposed move to Turkish club Çorum FK, worth around €2.5 million, collapsed earlier this summer.

Isaac Babadi is another player awaiting clarity over his future. The 21-year-old spent pre-season with Jong PSV and featured in friendly matches but has not appeared in an official fixture. He remains under contract until mid-2028, although his salary makes a move to virtually any other Dutch club difficult.

PSV are also prepared to consider offers for Couhaib Driouech and Esmir Bajraktarević, provided the financial terms are sufficiently attractive.

Driouech was previously valued at around €8 million, while Bajraktarević's status as a World Cup player could command an even higher fee.

Celta de Vigo have already shown interest in Driouech, with the Spanish club having around ten days to complete a potential deal before other transfer markets remain open for a further period.

For now, however, Man remains firmly within Bosz's plans. Atalanta's interest is clear, but without a significant offer, PSV are not expected to open the door for the Romanian to leave Eindhoven.
