The 22-year-old, who arrived at Philips Stadion in the summer of 2011 after wearing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Utrecht-c39237 colours for only six months, has long been linked with a number of elite European clubs including the likes of Manchester United, AC Milan and Bayern Munich.
Several reports in Italian media even indicate that the Milan giants have even tabled a bid to acquire the signature of the midfield maestro.
However, Brands has now made it clear that his side has yet to hear from any club.
“We haven’t had any contact with AC Milan, I haven’t spoken with the Rossoneri”, the PSV chief was quoted as saying to the media.
When asked about whether the club will let go of their prized asset if a good offer comes in this January or in the summer transfer window after the end of the 2012/13 campaign, the PSV technical director was clear that his side is not interested in selling the versatile midfielder at any cost.
“But even if they should ask us about Kevin, we'll answer that the player is not for sale”, Brands concluded.
Strootman started his professional career at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sparta-Rotterdam-c40567 in the 2008/09 season, and represented the Eerste Divisie outfit in 72 games before joining FC Utrecht halfway through the 2010/11 season.
However, after making only 14 appearances in the Dutch top flight, the Eindhoven giants managed to acquire his services from the Utreg along with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dries-Mertens-c11679 for a combined transfer fee of 13 million Euros.
Since arriving at Philips Stadion, the Dutch international has been making headlines for all the good reasons after staging dazzling shows week in week out that has garnered him severe interest from elite European clubs.
Reports confirm that the PSV management have put a mammoth price tag of 20 million Euros on the 22-year-old, who has an ongoing contract with the Boeren that runs until the summer of 2016.
