At Arminia Bielefeld, the loaned Ritsu Doan was able to convince last season, even if not always at a consistently high level. The 23-year-old contributed five goals and three assists to keep the league. However, the Japanese’s future remains open after his return to PSV Eindhoven. While Arminia could not afford a firm commitment, other clubs from Germany should hope for a transfer.
As the “Eindhovens Dagblad“Reported, Eintracht Frankfurt, 1. FSV Mainz 05 and Hannover 96 have a specific interest in Doan. Like the Bielefeld team, the trio is said to have to nibble at PSV’s transfer claim. According to the report, the Eredivisie Club is asking for 6.5 million euros – just under Doan’s current market value of 7 million euros.

Return to Germany? Doan with a difficult stand at PSV Eindhoven
Doan does not have to leave Eindhoven, but should consider a move as an option, as it does not look at the moment that he will play a major role in the well-stocked offensive around Mario Götze (29), Noni Madueke (19) or Cody Gakpo (22) will take. The Olympic fourth would like to be part of the starting line-up. PSV would also have another million available for reinforcement in the storm center in the event of a sale.
Doan moved from FC Groningen to Eindhoven in 2019 for 7.5 million euros and with the recommendation of 16 goals and seven assists in 66 competitive games. The Japanese international is still the eleventh most expensive player in PSV club history, although Doan did not find his top form there. In 25 games for Eindhoven, the Japanese scored two goals and submitted three more goals.
