Voetbalprimeur.nl reports that clubs such as Como are interested in signing Mauro Júnior. If these clubs meet a twelve million euro buyout clause and reach an agreement with Mauro Júnior, PSV will be unable to prevent the transfer. PSV wishes to renew Mauro Júnior's contract, offer him a higher salary, and remove the clause from the contract. It is reported that negotiations between PSV and Mauro Júnior are not proceeding smoothly.

Como is reportedly one of several clubs interested in PSV's 27-year-old Brazilian left-back, Mauro Júnior. FC Porto and Real Betis have also been linked with the player. Mauro Júnior may be available for a comparatively low fee due to a clause in his contract. Reports from May 2026 suggested an offer of €15 million would be anticipated to secure a transfer, while his release clause was said to be €18 million or lower. He has been with PSV since January 2018 and his current contract expires in 2029, although the club is expected to offer him a new deal. According to Transfermarkt, the former Brazil U23 international has a current market value of €18.00m. Como has qualified for the Champions League for the first time in its history, and Betis, another interested club, will also be in the competition next season.
