Dennis Man faces playing time challenges at PSV Eindhoven

Overview

Atalanta has expressed interest in signing Romanian international Dennis Man from PSV Eindhoven. Reports from journalist Gianluca Di Marzio indicate that Italian club officials, potentially supported by Maurizio Sarri, are considering the winger as a transfer target. While Man contributed to PSV’s Eredivisie title win last season, his playing time has significantly decreased. Man has now remained an unused substitute for seven consecutive matches, including a recent Champions League fixture against RB Leipzig. Manager Peter Bosz explained that Man has become the “third option” for the right winger position. This shift follows a physical issue Man suffered in August. During his absence, 21-year-old Esmir Bajraktarevic performed well, and the presence of veteran Ivan Perisic and the return of Sami Ouaissa from injury have further complicated Man’s path back to the starting lineup. Despite the lack of minutes, Bosz expressed confidence in the player, stating, “Dennis is a very good footballer. He will certainly return and receive sufficient minutes.” However, the lack of involvement has drawn criticism from PSV supporters, who argue the team needs the speed Man provides. Regarding a potential departure, PSV remains hesitant to part with the player during the current window to avoid difficulties in finding a suitable replacement, though they may consider an “offer that cannot be refused.” As the transfer window nears its close, PSV is reportedly weighing Man's potential sale to Atalanta, despite a primary intention to retain him. Man, who is under contract until 2029, has seen limited action this campaign, totaling only 98 minutes across four appearances. In October, Man finally returned to the starting lineup for an Eredivisie match against ADO Den Haag, marking his first start in ten matches. However, the game resulted in a 2-1 defeat for PSV.
