Dad cools Inter Milan talk for Man Utd, Liverpool target Bergwijn

The father of PSV Eindhoven winger Steven Bergwijn says there's been no direct contact with Inter Milan.

The youngster was scouted by Liverpool and Manchester United last week.

“I haven't heard any interest in my son, and we're not trying to leave," Bergwijn senior told FCInterNews.

“If PSV decide to sell him it'll be at the end of the season, not in the January transfer window.

“No-one from Inter has ever contacted me, and I want to make it clear that Steven is not pushing to leave PSV. He's very grateful for what they've done for him.

“If they decide to sell him in the near future then of course that'll be a different story, but in any case Inter should contact PSV first.

“His contract expires on June 30, 2022. He recently signed a new three-year deal and extended it for another year.

Serie A is a nice league with many great teams, not to mention it's in a beautiful country where the food is delicious.

“Steven loves football, he can adapt to any league, if necessary, but when we move to another country, the social aspect is very important.

“If we, as a family, could move with him and follow him closely, he could adapt much more easily, regardless of geographic location.

“At the moment he doesn't have a preferred league, because he's not thinking about leaving PSV. Other players might call their agents all the time to ask about big clubs being interested, but he doesn't."
