An intermediary proposed Wojciech Mónka to PSV earlier in the transfer window, but the club did not pursue the suggestion at that time. The 19-year-old Polish centre-back from Lech Poznan has a contract until mid-2029 and could now be a serious option because of developments regarding Ruud Nijstad. It is reported that Nijstad is close to signing a new contract with FC Twente, which would make him a more expensive and unrealistic target for PSV, potentially forcing the club to consider alternatives. Scouting lists typically contain many names, and PSV might also choose to pursue a more experienced defender. Mońka, who joined Lech Poznan on 26/04/2024, made 19 appearances in the Ekstraklasa during the 2025/2026 season and has one cap for the Poland U21 national team. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €10.00m, and Atalanta has also been mentioned in connection with the player.
