According to FC Twente-clubwatcher Leon ten Voorde, speaking on the AD Voetbal podcast, PSV will be closely following Ruud Nijstad this summer. Ten Voorde believes that although PSV has not made an official approach, there is definite interest in the defender, who is reportedly high on their list. Ten Voorde also questioned whether PSV could currently afford Nijstad and suggested they might need to sell players first, as Nijstad is expected to generate a significant fee for FC Twente if he leaves. The 18-year-old Dutch defender has 2 caps for the Netherlands U19 team. He is also facing interest from foreign clubs and was previously linked with FC Barcelona after securing a starting position earlier in the season. Nijstad's contract with FC Twente runs until June 2027, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €8.00m. Other clubs recently linked with him include Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayern Munich.
