PSV technical director John de Jong has jokingly threatened to spend the entire club budget on Tottenham Hotspur winger Lucas Moura if Ajax sign Steven Bergwijn. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bergwijn, 21, has enjoyed a stellar campaign in the\u00a0Eredivisie with PSV this season, sparking interest from elite clubs across Europe, including Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Could Bergwijn leave PSV? Five key things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Bergwijn netted 14 goals and registered 12 assists as PSV finished second in the Dutch top-flight.<\/li>\n
  2. He has been a standout performer in\u00a0Mark van Bommel’s side and could leave\u00a0Eindhoven this summer.<\/li>\n
  3. His\u00a0agent recently opened the door on a move, telling\u00a0Dutch publication\u00a0Eindhovens Dagblad<\/a> that PSV will not “determine where Steven will be going”.<\/li>\n
  4. In light of rumours to Ajax,\u00a0technical director Marc Overmars told\u00a0De Telegraaf: “If we want to sign Bergwijn, I will talk to PSV.”<\/li>\n
  5. PSV have now hit back, suggesting they will sign Champions League nemesis Lucas Moura should a deal for Bergwijn materialise.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The five-time Dutch international has directly contributed to 26 league goals this season, and was recently announced in\u00a0Ronald Koeman’s Netherlands squad for the Nations League semi-final against England next month.<\/p>\n

    As such the incisive winger has been closely linked to a number of clubs, with Ajax among those reportedly queuing up for his signature, but PSV appear to be having none of it, threatening their rival club with a tongue-in-cheek move for Lucas.<\/p>\n

    The Brazilian ace famously scored a hat-trick to send Ajax crashing out of the Champions League semi-final in dramatic fashion earlier this month, and he could rub salt in the wounds by pitching up at PSV if Bergwijn heads to Amsterdam John de Jong has joked.<\/p>\n

    “It’s very simple: if Ajax takes Steven away from us, we will offer Tottenham our entire budget to sign Moura if necessary,” he told De Speld<\/a>.<\/p>\n
