Eindhovens Dagblad have confirmed Atalanta Bergamo's interest in PSV player Dennis Man. According to the newspaper, though, prising the Romanian away from the club will not be easy.
Transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio had earlier reported that Atalanta want to bring the winger back to Serie A.
That said, the Italians face a tough task if they want to take Man to Bergamo. ED understands he is part of PSV's plans, which makes a departure difficult.
The newspaper also reports that signing a replacement in just over a week for a reasonable price would not be easy.
Only a substantial bid could tempt PSV to sell the 27-year-old Romanian, although the Eindhoven club's board have yet to set that threshold.
For now, PSV do not appear open to letting Man leave. The club are willing to let four players go.
Adamo Nagalo, Isaac Babadi, Couhaib Driouech and Esmir Bajraktarevic no longer appear to have a future in Eindhoven. PSV want to let Driouech and Bajraktarevic leave, provided they bring in decent sums.
