Sven Midsommar (26), a standout performer for AZ Alkmaar, has concluded his most successful season to date, netting 21 goals and providing nine assists in 50 appearances across all competitions. This impressive form has piqued the interest of several Bundesliga clubs, including RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen.

Contrary to some media speculation from the Netherlands, no formal offers have been rejected to date. The 26-year-old forward is understood to have a release clause of €15 million for international clubs. PSV Eindhoven, currently flush with cash following Ismael Saibari's €50 million transfer to Bayern Munich, has also expressed their interest.

Regarding Leipzig's pursuit of Midsommar, further details indicate that new head coach Martin Demichelis is playing a significant role in the club's squad planning for the 2026/27 season. Beyond Midsommar, Leipzig is also keen on reacquiring Brajam Gruda. Their preference is to secure the German youth international on a loan deal that includes an obligatory purchase clause.
